Really interesting nugget here from @Sportico on Fanatics' collectibles business. Topps' trading card division did $368M in sales in 2020 prior to the acquisition. That number jumped to $1.6B in 2024.
SCOOP: @Fanatics revenue was $8.1 billion in 2024. The company has about $400 million in total debt, $1 billion in cash, and projects to be EBITDA profitable in 2025. Revenue Commerce: $6.2B Collectibles: $1.6B Betting: $300M More w/ @bpcoffey 👇 sportico.com/business/financ…

Incredible how a simple brainstorm nearly a decade ago can lead to something so memorable. So proud of @teamworksmedia team who conceived and executed this.
We know you’ve been waiting for this one… “Maps” is here and it’s beautiful. #B1GWelcome

A colleague predicted 10 years ago the ultimate end game is for the leagues to eventually max every game as PPV. Feels like we are on the precipice.
This is a great visual explaining who gets what in the NBA’s new media rights deal. (P.S. @_SportsBall_ is a great follow)

Two of my personal favs, two of the nicest women in sports media and two people you WANT to spend part of your day with. Congrats @peggykusinski & @dmillerabc7 !!!!
Is it true @thekapman & @xjhoodespn are coming back IMMEDIATELY to save their show @ESPN1000 ? That’s what happens when they give “Peggy & Dionne” @dmillerabc7 the controls!!!

This is the brilliant IP and content to create relevancy and value for the niche no one had really covered in multi-billion dollar collectibles market. @Fanatics owns the market, but @darrenrovell and @cllctMedia about to own the mindshare/influence.

On the 50th anniversary of Hank Aaron record-breaking homerun, we catch up with the man who caught the ball. “If I never did anything else … everywhere I went I became Tom House, the guy who caught Henry Aaron’s 715” 👇

So excited for friend and @NorthwesternU alum, @darrenrovell on the launch of collectibles media co. @cllctMedia . Textbook example of content studio owning a niche that is wide open. It's not just about the memorabilia - it's the stories & context = value.
