It’s a complicated dynamic, but that is what the end result will be.
Fanatics will be forced to lower their “direct cost” as long as the demand goes away - you will see “direct discounted prices”.
That biggest demand is coming from breakers.

You keep ignoring the biggest piece of the discussion - shops cannot afford to not buy. Fanatics will cut their allocations and they will be out of business. It's not like a shop owner will just say OK, I'm skipping the next 3 releases and prices will drop. That isn't how the industry works.
Shops have tons of overhead, they need product to survive. Now that Panini is on the way out, they need Fanatics' new product even more.
You just repeat "breaker, breaker" and don't see all the other buyers Fanatics has that have no choice but to buy at their price. Who are these breakers that are selling all this product you claim they are buying?
Let's take Platinum breaks - looking at their website, they have recently sold 15 cases of Bowman Chrome, that's the big one. A couple of half cases of Allen & Ginter. One case of Immaculate baseball. One case of Cosmic Chrome. Three or four cases of Platinum, hard to tell on that one.
Take a look yourself:

Platinum has historically been one of the biggest breakers, where is this massive demand you claim breakers are providing? Show me another breaker that is running through hundreds of cases and supporting these prices on their own. Actually, should be able to give quite a large list of these guys, right?
