ROSEMONT, Ill. – As Michael Rubin checked out a memorabilia case, his phone rang.
On the other end was NFL legend Tom Brady.
Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, stepped aside for a few minutes. It was busy as usual.
Then it was right back to looking at collectibles on the show floor and snapping selfies with collectors. The multi-billionaire was in his element amongst the masses at the jam-packed National Sports Collectors Convention.
