    Case filed

What happened

A proposed class action against Fanatics, Inc. and related entities, apparently alleging antitrust violations in the market for sports trading cards. The plaintiffs, who appear to be individual purchasers or collectors, claim that Fanatics' conduct has unlawfully restricted competition, potentially leading to higher prices or fewer choices. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
