Rick Lewis REACTS: The TikTok–Fanatics Lawsuit Just Got Real | Enigma Trading Co.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, and nothing in this video is legal advice. One of One Interviews is not a party to this lawsuit or directly involved in it in any way. Everything discussed in this video - by me and by my guest - is opinion and commentary on ALLEGED claims. All allegations are unproven, all parties are presumed innocent, and nothing stated here has been decided by a court of law. I am covering this story solely as a member of the press reporting on the trading card hobby. Rick Lewis of Enigma Trading Co. is back. Weeks after Rick first spoke out about breakers allegedly being banned from TikTok and steered toward Fanatics product, a federal antitrust lawsuit landed — and a lot of what Rick described is now in the allegations. In this reaction episode, we go through it all: the alleged pressure on small breakers, the Silver Lake connection, who actually owns NFL helmet IP, and why Rick believes this goes deeper than a civil case. His opinions are his own. 👍 If accountability coverage like this matters to you, LIKE this video, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE it with someone in the hobby.

BREAKING: The Lawsuit That Could Change Everything | Banner Legal vs. Fanatics, TikTok & the NFL

BREAKING: The Lawsuit That Could Change Everything | Banner Legal vs. Fanatics, TikTok & the NFL Independent breakers are losing their businesses overnight — no warning, no due process, no explanation. Just gone. In this episode, I sit down with the attorneys at Banner Legal Group who are actively litigating a federal antitrust case alleging that Fanatics, TikTok, and the NFL coordinated to systematically eliminate independent sports memorabilia sellers from one of the most important online marketplaces in the hobby. If you've been banned, suspended, pressured into signing an exclusive agreement, or had your traffic inexplicably redirected — this episode is for you. The attorneys break down what's allegedly happening, who's behind it, what your rights are, and what you should be doing right now to protect your claim. This isn't a conspiracy theory. There's a case on file. And it's just getting started. Disclaimer: I am not an attorney. Nothing in this episode constitutes legal advice.

How to Stay Alive in Sports Cards | Ryan Durkee of SICK

Ryan Durkee of SICK joins One of One Interviews for a real conversation about how to stay alive in sports cards. Ryan runs one of the longer-standing Facebook card rooms and has been around the hobby long enough to see the cycles, the hype, the scams, the fads, and the money shifts. This episode gets into manipulated comps, Whatnot culture, Facebook rooms, repacks, flash lines, card shows, PSA grading, and why too many people still do not know when to take the profit or take the loss. We also talk about the economics behind repackers, why certain cards actually move, why fake demand gets exposed fast, and why the hobby is not just about having inventory — it is about having outlets. Hobby culture. Real conversations. No influencer bullshit.

Sports Card Fallout: Secret Chats, Admin Funds, and the Hobby Casino with Yoshi Reaux

This episode goes straight into the fallout inside the sports card community: secret chats, admin funds, flash events, broken trust, burnout, group politics, and the line between hobby and casino. Steven sits down with Yoshi Reaux for a long-form conversation about what happened behind the scenes, why people finally started asking questions, and how quickly relationships can change when money, power, loyalty, and ego all live in the same room. This is not just about one group. It is about what happens when a hobby becomes a business, when admins become personalities, and when community starts feeling more like damage control.
