Panini to offer real Puig autos!

rsmath · Jul 17, 2013

Panini just announced they've inked an agreement for Yasiel Puig autos for Panini Authentic so we know they won't be a chance of having vaporware autos like Topps. Puig will also be making an appearance at the Natty.

Not in the Panini blog post but I saw somewhere in the last day or so.... Puig has signed on with a sports management company so I guess Topps has a better chance of getting autos for their products but the price for Puig looks like it's gone way up because the sports management company is probably no dummy.

sigh...sticker autos with an airbrushed picture. oh well, at least they'll sell well.

This is just for memorabilia, right? I don't think it affects Topps cards in any way.

initially looks to be for memorabilia, but I wouldn't be surprised if it continued on Panini cards at some point.

The way I see it, it affects Topps cards -- would you rather have a Puig auto on memorabilia in the next few weeks or Panini cards eventually or a IOU from Topps for an autographed Puig trading card that will be replaced in 18-24 months with a Barry Larkin or Don Sutton auto on a redemption replacement custom card?

Don't get me wrong. It is nice to know Panini will for sure have Puig autos after the National. I was more referring to the long-term. I believe Andrew Luck has a similar agreement with Panini already.

Now that is what I'm talking about.

True - I don't think that Puig has an exclusive deal with Panini. This is a similar deal as the one that Andrew Luck has.

Topps needs to die already.

Panini already planned to have Puig in Pinnacle--wonder if this will bode well for an auto in the product as well.

Luck's agreement with Panini isn't exclusive either; Upper Deck got Luck in a limited contract about a week ago.

Topps' cards won't be affected, they'll all be redemptions for the near term.

I am willing to bet that Puig is a guest at the Panini VIP thing.
I believe you have to spend $6500 on their product to get an invite.

I am pretty sure this has been confirmed. And they upped the price to $7500.

Price is still $6,500 per the latest information from Panini.

I think Panini or Beckett referenced the VIP angle

I think it's lame that you have to spend $7500 on products that they have pre-picked. Why can't you spend $7500 on any Panini product?

I'd rather have the unlicensed 2012 Leaf on-card autos than airbrushed 2013 Panini sticker autos.

agree but I think they do that to help dealers with dead product. Like Crusade and USA Champions.
