TheDeal.com was the first to break
news
Tuesday night that Upper Deck Co. LLC made a last-minute bid for rival Topps
Co. A quick Google News search shows that only the New York Post followed up
on the news, but almost two whole days after TheDeal.com, which had already
published a
second,
more definitive article on Wednesday. However, bloggers at The Wall Street
Journal's Deal Journal seem to give the Post credit, which itself fails to
cite TheDeal.com for the scoop. —Matthew Wurtzel
