  • A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry
    A Review of the Post-WWII Baseball Card Industry Artie Zillante University of North Carolina Charlotte November 25th,2007 1Introduction If the attempt by The Upper Deck Company (Upper Deck) to purchase The Topps Company, Inc. (Topps) is successful, the baseball card industry will have come full circle in under 30 years. A legal ruling broke the Topps monopoly in the industry in 1981, but by 2007 the industry had experienced a boom and bust cycle1 that led to the entry and exit of a number of firms, numerous innovations, and changes in competitive practices. If successful, Upper Deck’s purchase of Topps will return the industry to a monopoly. The goal of this piece is to look at how secondary market forces have shaped primary market behavior in two ways. First, in the innovations produced as competition between manufacturers intensified. Second, in the change in how manufacturers competed. Traditional economic analysis assumes competition along one dimension, such as Cournot quantity competition or Bertrand price competition, with little consideration of whether or not the choice of competitive strategy changes. Thus, the focus will be on the suggested retail price (SRP) of cards as well as on the timing of product releases in the industry. Baseballcardshaveundergonedramaticchangesinthepasthalfcenturyastheindustryandthehobby have matured, but the last 20 years have provided a dramatic change in the types of products being produced. Prior to World War II, baseball cards were primarily used as premiums or advertising tools for tobacco and candy products. Information on the use of baseball cards as advertising tools in the tobacco and candy industries prior to World War II can be obtained from a number of different sources, including Kirk (1990) and most of the annual comprehensive baseball card price guides produced by Beckett publishing.

The case study shows how manufacturers have varied their strategic behavior in re- sponse to changes that have occurred within the industry in the last 20 years. This is in stark contrast to most of the existing theoretical literature on behavior in declining industries, which assumes that behavior remains constant throughout the decline phase of an industry. 1 Introduction The phrase “declining industry” is enough to make any business manager shudder. Declin- ing industries often portend profit reductions, plant closings, and layoffs. The picture of declining industries painted by economic theorists is just as dismal. The typical theoretical analysis has firms hanging on until they are just barely profitable, then exiting the market. While this model may fit some industries, it ignores the possibility that firms may change their strategic behavior to stave off the disappearance of the industry. In this paper, I provide a case study of an industry which underwent such a change in strategic behavior, the baseball card industry. While secondary market values for baseball cards have been used in studies on consumer discrimination,1 baseball player salaries,2 and in field experiments,3 little attention has been paid to the manufacture and release of baseball cards. An early paper, Jones and Warhit [11], focuses on the tieing of baseball cards to bubblegum by the then-monopoly producer of baseball cards, the Topps Company (Topps).
