Today marks a historic moment for the hobby as Fanatics and Topps secure the soccer trading card license in 2030, continuing to elevate the future of sports collectibles and bringing even more excitement to collectors around the world.
As the veteran-owned Monterey Bay Collectors Lounge, we are incredibly honored to be part of this new era and proud to stand as the ONLY licensed Topps shop in all of Monterey County. From day one, our mission has been simple — provide our customers with the absolute best products, experiences, and service the hobby has to offer.
This announcement represents more than just cards. It represents growth, passion, community, and the continued evolution of a hobby that connects generations of collectors across the globe. We are grateful for the trust our local and national supporters continue to place in us as we expand and strengthen our presence in the industry.
Monterey Bay Collectors Lounge remains fully committed to serving collectors at every level, from first-time hobbyists to seasoned investors. Our dedication to authenticity, premium product offerings, and customer experience will always remain at the forefront of everything we do.
We want to thank Fanatics, Topps, and every collector who has supported our journey. The future of the hobby has never been brighter, and we are proud to continue building that future together right here in Monterey County and beyond.
