2 things make ZERO sense to me:

- Why do hobby stores continue to sell/support brands like Fanatics who not only give preference on allocation to retail giants directly competing with them in brick and mortar - but also run competing online sites ?

- Doesn’t anyone else think these “breaks” ran by Fanatics and a few others are more rigged than an online casino/poker game from the golden age of un-regulated.

So the distributor can easily tell WHERE a valuable 1:1 is - and sells 80% of their product via big retail allegedly. Yet the percent of hits on their own breaks seems much higher. Then there’s the guys “slipping” in cards and ensuring the winning spot is held by a shill.

Greed killed this industry before - feels like history will repeat itself here.
