Top Players Leading the Panini Style Collectible Card Industry
The panini style collectible card market is dominated by several prominent companies, such as Fanatics LLC, Panini Group, Mittera, Cartamundi NV, The Upper Deck Company LLC, The Topps Company Inc., Koinly Ltd., SkyBox International Inc., Cryptozoic Entertainment LLC, Kuo Kau Paper Products Co.

A notable development occurred in August 2023 when Fanatics, Inc., a US-based collectibles company, acquired a controlling stake in GC Packaging (GCP) for $100 million. This strategic acquisition was aimed at addressing ongoing manufacturing challenges in the industry, such as quality control issues, delivery delays, and limited production capacity, which were exacerbated during the COVID-19 lockdown period. GC Packaging is a critical player in the trading card manufacturing landscape, producing over 90% of Panini's trading cards. This move not only secures vital production resources for Fanatics but also enhances its competitive edge against Panini.
