Fanatics files suit against Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. - ESPN

TEMPE, Ariz. — Fanatics filed a lawsuit against Arizona Cardinals rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. on Saturday night in New York Supreme Court for breaching a contract the wide receiver signed with the retailer in May 2023.

In the suit, Fanatics said Harrison has refused to fulfill his obligations to the deal while he also «publicly asserted» that the contract does not exist.

Items include photos ranging from $99.99 to $149, a jersey at $299.99 and a helmet for as much as $549.99. The site, which says, «Cardinals memorabilia coming soon,» states that it is «the ONLY website to purchase signed Harrison memorabilia.»

In the suit, Fanatics claims that Harrison told the retailer that a «larger competitor» had made an offer to him while other trading card companies have made «competing» offers, as well. The suit claims that Harrison has «demanded» Fanatics meet or exceed the other alleged offers. However, the suit also claims that Harrison has refused to provide Fanatics with the competing offers.

Fanatics also claims in the suit that Harrison has «already begun negotiating competing agreements with other collectible or sports trading card companies.»
