Mahomes Is Back: New Panini Autographs Drop for 2025 NFL Card Lineup

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is back in the hobby spotlight in a big way. Panini America has officially announced a new autograph deal with the three-time Super Bowl champion, marking the first time since 2020 that collectors will be able to pull newly signed Mahomes cards in Panini products.

The news, revealed Tuesday, is a major boost for NFL card collectors. Mahomes' autograph cards are among the most sought-after in the hobby, and the return of his signature in fresh 2025 products is already generating buzz among fans and breakers alike.

Panini and Mahomes: A Partnership Reignited

Mahomes and Panini go way back. The two have worked together since 2017—starting at Mahomes’ NFL Draft party—and this new agreement keeps the partnership rolling into the upcoming NFL season.

“Patrick is one of the NFL’s marquee players and someone who has made a tremendous impact not only on the field but also in communities across the country,” said Jason Howarth, SVP of Marketing and Athlete Relations at Panini America. “We’re proud to continue our partnership and bring collectors new autographed cards from one of football’s greatest talents.”

New Designs, Iconic Inserts

Panini isn’t holding back when it comes to presentation. To celebrate the renewed deal, they dropped a slick promotional video that features Mahomes alongside some of Panini’s most popular and visually striking inserts—Color Blast, Downtown, and KaBoom—blending live-action with animation and card art.

These new Mahomes autographs are expected to appear across Panini’s entire 2025 NFL lineup, which includes staples like Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Immaculate, and more.

Mahomes on the Move (Again)

“Panini has been with me since day one,” said Mahomes in a statement. “They’ve continued to find new ways to make cards fun and interesting, and I’m excited to work with them again on this upcoming season’s autographs.”

With Mahomes fresh off another Super Bowl win and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks of this generation, demand for his autograph cards has never been higher.

Bottom Line: It’s a Big Win for Collectors

The return of Mahomes autographs to Panini products isn’t just a licensing deal—it’s a full-circle moment for fans and collectors who’ve watched his rise from rookie to NFL icon. With new cards set to drop across Panini’s most popular sets, the 2025 season is shaping up to be a must-watch—and a must-rip.
