Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

    Honestly, I think it’s getting back to the days of the late 2000s and early 2010s when people were buying a ton of knock off jerseys. What is interesting is what does the future of Fanatics look like? Their quality is so poor, that a lot of fans, from across the major sports leagues, are just looking for alternate options in order to avoid buying from them. How long until their profits start plummeting and the leagues boot them out the door? What Fanatics is doing is a recipe for disaster. As a card collector, what they’ve done to Topps is a travesty. Quality control essentially doesn’t exist anymore, it’s overproduced, it’s overpriced, and the release dates are all over, where 2022 stuff was still coming out this summer.
