The deal, finalized late last night, sends Panini and its entire brand portfolio to Topps in exchange for three minor league sticker companies, future considerations, and a player to be named later. “This is just how the hobby works now,” said Topps President Michael Rubenstein. “We saw an opportunity to consolidate the market, and Panini’s been struggling lately.
