A federal judge in New York threw out Jones v. Fanatics.
It was 7 class actions rolled into one, 13 counts, against Fanatics, MLB, the NFL, the NBA and the players' unions.
It covered people who bought through shops and retail stores.
Dismissed before discovery even started. The judge said Reddit and YouTube posts don't prove prices went up.
Same judge is hearing Panini v. Fanatics.
Does Panini still have a real shot against Fanatics, or is that case already over?

Panini signed a deal with the MLB players union's business side that covers active minor leaguers.
It's non-exclusive and multiyear, up to 12 products a year.
First one is Panini Three and Two Baseball in November.
Still no team logos or team names. Topps keeps the official MLB license.
A Panini prospect card with no logo: worth chasing, or is Bowman still the only first card that counts?
Big week, and almost all of it lands Wednesday.

Serious question here, Colorblast / Uptown / Zebra. Regardless of player, which has the most value? I am contemplating uptowns first, but what do you think?
