EBay Inc. said it has agreed to buy TCGplayer, a marketplace for
collectible-card-game enthusiasts, for up to about $295
million.
EBay said the market for trading cards has grown rapidly and is
an attractive category. The deal is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2023.
"This new chapter allows us to continue operating independently
within eBay, while also benefiting from their decades of industry
experience and resources to deepen the connection between hobbyists
and their communities," TCGplayer founder and Chief Executive Chedy
Hampson said.
EBay Vice President of Collectibles Dawn Block said the deal
would help eBay to improve the customer experience across
categories.
