Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. II: Attractive Warrants After Failed Deal

A deal to take the Topps Co. public has been scrapped after Major League Baseball said it won't renew its exclusive, 70-year-old relationship with the trading-card company. On Friday — a day after MLB announced its surprise decision to jilt Topps in favor of sports merchandising giant Fanatics — hedge fund Mudrick Capital said in.

Topps had been the trading card partner of Major League Baseball since 1952. Its SPAC merger with Mudrick Capital just blew up.

Shares of Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. II MUDS, -2.13% fell 2.1% toward a 4 1/2-month low in premarket trading Friday, after the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) said the merger agreement that would've have taken The Topps Company public has been terminated "by mutual agreement." The termination announcement comes a day after the companies learned Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association would not be renewing their baseball card agreements with Topps, when they come up for renewal.
