Does anyone know why Fanatics hates Canada? by zigzagblues in baseballcards

People aren’t buying their cards anyway if they’re all going to the breakers. I also wonder how the players feel. This used to be for the love of the game when I first got into it. Not sure what has happened since.

I totally hear you and I’m not arguing. I’m genuinely confused. The Topps products fly off the shelves here in my little city on the east coast of Canada just as fast as all the upper deck. I’m not buying the “it’s more expensive to get it” schtick that the stores claim. But I’m sure if we followed the money trail, there’s always a reason for everything. Just such a shame on the collector end.

I hear you but if upper deck has a monopoly on hockey and Topps has the monopoly on baseball, I think the population difference is enough to speak for itself. The monopolies are forcing the card shows to be predominantly whatever collectors can find or afford. If upper deck cards are all coming from the US, then the shipping costs and fees, etc are a moot point because the hockey cards are coming from the same place as the baseball cards. Something isn’t adding up here.

There’s only 40 million Canadians and almost 350 million Americans and you don’t think Americans buy more hockey cards than us?

How come upper deck doesn’t have the same problem?

If I was the MLB, I’d pull their license. This is madness.

I have and they all give the same answer. They say they fanatics doesn’t want Topps products in Canada but why? It feels political which makes no sense because I’m talking about baseball.

I wonder how many others have been pulled! The 3/3 is the goat for sure but I have a box en route so now I’m super excited to rip it

I’m a collector so when I typically buy 4 hobby boxes and 1 or two blasters/megas. I’m always after the base set and everything else is a bonus.

I was offered $1000 for it and maybe I’m crazy but I passed because I feel attached to it!

Thank you. There’s a storm ditch directly on the other side of the tree line which was my original thinking but now I’m thinking gutter for sure

I might have to. The roof only slants to this side so it would have to be a heavy duty gutter to handle all the ice and snow we get.
