Panini America, the world’s largest sports and entertainment collectibles company, announced today that it has signed an exclusive autograph trading card agreement with Australian basketball sensation Danté Exum, projected to be a top-five pick in June’s 2014 NBA Draft, reports Tracey Hackler.
The agreement includes the release of Exum’s NBA trading cards and autographed cards exclusively through Panini America and a limited number of autographed memorabilia pieces through Panini Authentic, the autograph and memorabilia division of Panini America.
Exum’s first NBA trading cards and autographed cards will arrive in October with the release of 2014-15 NBA Hoops Basketball which will be available at Cherry Collectables.
