It has been recently announced that Panini America, NBA Players and the Dallas Mavericks have signed Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic to an exclusive agreement for autographs and memorabilia. Doncic has been a driving force behind the wild global growth of the sports trading card market for the last three seasons and has had a relationship with Panini America since before he was drafted.
“As a kid growing up in Europe, Panini stickers were a big part of my childhood so to be able to partner with Panini America even before I was drafted was really exciting to me,” Doncic said. “I’m proud now to be able to strengthen our relationship and build a close connection with fans and collectors. There is so much going on in the collectibles space and I’m happy to be with them.”
Now, that relationship is exclusive. Doncic’s autographed memorabilia — including jerseys, basketballs, photographs and more — is available exclusively through Panini Authentic, the memorabilia division of Panini America that also maintains exclusive relationships with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, Rui Hachimura, Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant and more. The star’s autographed trading cards have been a staple of Panini America products since his 2018-19 rookie season and will continue to help drive sales in 2021 and beyond.
