Panini America has expanded its collaboration with University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning, announcing an exclusive, multi‑year deal to produce officially autographed memorabilia. This marks Manning’s first foray into licensed collectibles beyond trading cards, building on the NIL agreement that led to a record‑setting 1‑of‑1 Throwback Prizm Black Autograph sale in 2023.
What’s Available
- Signed Photos: Starting at $699.99, each photo features Manning’s on‑field action shot, hand‑signed in blue ink.
- Autographed Helmets & Jerseys: Priced at $999.99, these game‑used replicas bear Manning’s signature and come with Panini’s authentication.
- Future Drops: Limited‑edition pieces—such as commemorative plaques and framed memorabilia—will roll out as Manning’s collegiate career progresses.
The Partnership’s Impact
“Introducing Arch’s first official memorabilia gives Texas fans an early opportunity to celebrate his legacy,” said Jason Howarth, Panini America’s Senior VP of Marketing and Athlete Relations. “Arch has been a tremendous partner, and this exclusive deal highlights our commitment to delivering premium collectibles for college football’s biggest names.”
Arch Manning’s Legacy Continues
As Cooper Manning’s eldest son—and grandson of former NFL standout Archie Manning—Arch enters the spotlight both on and off the field. His decision to personally endorse these memorabilia items underscores the growing trend of athletes engaging directly with the trading‑card hobby and memorabilia market.
From Cards to Collectibles
Since teaming up with
Panini in 2023 under his NIL deal, Manning’s trading‑card releases have captured fan attention and set hobby records. This new memorabilia program leverages Panini’s dedicated NIL platform, offering collegiate athletes at partner schools the chance to launch their own signed products. Fans and collectors can explore the full lineup now on Panini’s website.
