OPINION
LEAVY, Senior Circuit Judge.
In these eight consolidated cases, purchasers of trading cards (appeal the district court’s dismissals of their actions brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 (“RICO”)). The district court held that the purchasers did not have standing because they were not injured in their business or property as required by RICO’s § 1964(c). We have jurisdiction over this timely appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and, after de novo review, we affirm.
