MLB Ends Its 70-year Partnership With Topps Trading Card Company
Major League Baseball will abandon Topps as its partner for trading cards, ending a relationship that’s been in place since 1952.
Fanatics, the company that makes sports apparel, is expected to get the trading card deal instead, according to two people familiar with the matter. Fanatics and MLB declined to comment.
MLB renewed its deal with Topps in 2018, and the existing deal ends in 2025. The MLB Players Association deal also aligns with the league, so its deal would end, too.
