January 23, 2025

Fanatics Collectibles has announced plans to open its first global flagship store this spring. Located on London’s iconic Regent Street, the store will focus on sports and entertainment trading cards featuring Fanatics Collectibles’ brands, including Topps, Merlin, Match Attax and Bowman.
The store’s launch comes after Topps secured exclusive trading card rights to the Premier League last year, with products set to debut in time for the 2025/2026 season. Topps also holds exclusive rights for UEFA national team and club competitions and plans to introduce licensed NBA products later this year.
Spanning 803 square meters (8,647 square feet), the store will offer a unique experience for collectors throughout the year. Highlights include a central display showcasing rare and sought-after cards, along with thousands of exclusive items such as single cards, retail boxes and high-end hobby releases. The store will host community-building events, including monthly trade nights, kids’ rip events, athlete signings and appearances, partner activations and grading drop-offs. Additionally, alongside the retail space, it will include a state-of-the-art breaking studio for live and recorded card pack openings, interactive customer education touchpoints and a personal card creation suite.
“We are incredibly excited to cut the ribbon on this amazing community-building retail space, one that we hope will delight collectors and be a true home for the hobby in Europe,” says David Leiner, president, trading cards, Topps. “It’ll be a destination for millions of fans as well as our own internal partners – and team and club partners, the latter using our dedicated space to launch and showcase new products in a way that has never been done before.”
The flagship store will also function as a drop-off point for users of Fanatics Collect, a marketplace connecting trading card buyers and sellers. With less than five Topps-partner hobby shops in the U.K. and fewer than 30 across Europe, the store aims to become a central hub for collectors.
While trading cards will remain the primary focus, the store will also sell apparel, including Topps-branded and Fanatics-owned Mitchell & Ness products and memorabilia such as signed jerseys, kits and other equipment. Trading card categories will range from sports (soccer, football, baseball, F1, basketball, UFC and WWE) to sports gaming cards (Match Attax) and entertainment (Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Garbage Pail Kids and Stranger Things).
