Through the Fanatics platform, sports fans can buy licensed fan gear, jerseys, lifestyle and streetwear products, headwear, and hardgoods; collect physical and digital trading cards, sports memorabilia, and other digital assets; and bet as the company builds its Sportsbook and iGaming platform. Fanatics has an established database of over 100 million global sports fans, a global partner network with over 900 sports properties, including major national and international professional sports leagues, teams, players associations, athletes, celebrities, colleges, and college conferences, and over 2,000 retail locations, including its Lids retail business stores.
Fanatics, the sports merchandise powerhouse, continues to make waves in the industry with a series of exciting developments. The company has recently secured an exclusive memorabilia agreement with NHL sensation Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks, further solidifying its position as a leader in sports collectibles and enhancing its engagement with hockey enthusiasts.
In a testament to the growing market for rare sports memorabilia, Fanatics partnered with Sotheby's for the 'Holy Grails' auction, where New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft acquired a highly coveted Tom Brady autographed rookie card for an impressive $120,000. This Gem Mint graded card underscores the value and appeal of exclusive sports collectibles in Fanatics' portfolio.
Expanding its reach into the sports betting arena, Fanatics celebrated the grand opening of its first Sportsbook at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. The launch event, hosted by Jay-Z and Michael Rubin, featured notable sports stars and introduced a luxurious new venue for sports betting enthusiasts, marking Fanatics' entry into this lucrative market.
