This concept will serve as another way for athletes to generate revenue as there will be opportunity athletes all across the country that will be involved. It will also serve as a great way for fans to be engaged with some of their favorite Hurricanes players as Fanatics is one of the top sports retailers in the world.
Starting this fall, Topps will release non-exclusive trading cards featuring current athletes from roughly 100 universities. These athletes will have the right to sign with other trading card companies as well.
