Topps Goes Private Equity

Topps Co. Inc. (TOPP), the company known for baseball cards and Bazooka bubble gum, is going the private equity route. Topps agreed to be bought out for $385 million by a group that includes Michael Eisner’s firm, The Tornante Co. LLC.
Most people didn’t know this company was publicly traded. I remember how popular the shares were in the late-1990s, but Topps hasn’t done much over the long haul.
