One of the nation’s top college football players has signed an exclusive autographed trading card deal with Panini America.
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe will be featured across the company’s collegiate products, including Panini’s Instant Card platform, which is focused on the top players and performances each week of the college football season. He will also be included featured in Panini marketing campaigns.
So far this season, Milroe has accounted for 23 total touchdowns (12 passing, 11 rushing), and has thrown for nearly 1,500 yards in leading Alabama to a 5-1 record.
Last season, he led the Crimson Tide to an SEC title and a berth in the College Football Playoffs, while earning second team All-SEC honors. Milroe was named the MVP of the SEC Championship game, as Alabama defeated top-ranked Georgia.
Panini recently introduced Panini College, a dedicated NIL platform for cards.
“Jalen is one of the premiere players in college football and is another outstanding addition to our family of athletes,” stated Jason Howarth, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Athlete Relations for Panini America. “He will be a great partner for us as we continue to grow our Panini College platform and product offerings.”

It’s been a long road to big moments for David Fry. The 28-year-old’s game-winning home run capped one of the most exciting postseason games in memory Thursday night.
Fry’s rookie cards are in 2024 Topps Series 2 and he also has some autographs.
He’s got a Golden Mirror image variation that foretold the kind of playoff run he’s having with big homers in the Division Series and the ALCS.

Add another memorable home run to Aaron Judge’s career highlights. His two-run, game-tying rocket blast off Emmanuel Clase in the American League Championship Series Thursday night was the latest of many. Two seasons ago, he’d just finished breaking the American League single-season record with 62 and now, a game-worn jersey from that season–carrying an autograph and inscriptions– is on the auction block.
Fanatics is offering one of Judge’s Yankee home pinstripe jerseys in its latest auction, set to close Oct. 21.
The jersey dates to a May 25 game against the Baltimore Orioles. He didn’t homer that night but did have a hit that drove in a run.
The current bid as of Thursday night was $10,000, with a reserve price not yet met.
