After publishing a tweet about the explosive allegations that Fanatics employees rigged box breaks and predetermined high-value pulls, I received five responses.
>Fanatics Accused of Rigging Breaks: The Scandal Rocking the UK
At first glance, they appeared to be from ordinary collectors defending the company.
But a closer look revealed something far more suspicious.
All five accounts shared striking similarities:
Creation dates: Every single account was created in July or August 2025
Posting patterns: All tweeted in suspiciously similar styles and cadences
More Accounts: After some digging, I found five more accounts that look like they're part of the same operation.
Like, WTF is this?
These two posted at the exact same time
THEY BOTH POST ABOUT SITTING STILL AT THE EXACT SAME TIME?!?!
WTF IS GOING ON?!
Here are the other two posting about "strong teams" in the same hour.
When there's an important hobby topic, you can see them coordinate these accounts to post the same graphic with AI-written text.
Sometimes the AI malfunctions
All five accounts will post bizarre content about sports cards that barely makes sense.
The same accounts will then go post POSITIVE replies to sports card posts.
LOL
The POSITIVE engagements these guys get...
SOME OF IT IS FAKE!!
After some investigation, these five accounts are also apart of the operation
From 12/10-12/18, here's the breakdown of who the ten accounts interacted with the most:
CARDPURCHASER: 54
TOPPS: 24
KASEYSCARDS: 17
FANATICS COLLECT: 6
FILTHBOMB BREAKS: 6
SPORTSCARDNEWS: 5
SPORTS CARD INVESTOR: 4
Only my account (SportsCardNews) was interacted with in a negative way.
Some of the positive buzz you see about cards? It's pumped up by fake engagement.
Then they'll turn around and try to tamp down negative stories.
YIKES.
