MLB Rookie Yasiel Puig Signs Panini Authentic Memorabilia Deal

Yasiel Puig has signed a limited autograph memorabilia deal with Panini Authentic, therapy a division of Panini America, the leading global publisher of sports and entertainment collectibles and an official licensee.

In addition to the memorabilia agreement for Panini Authentic, Puig will also participate in a marketing appearance for Panini America at the 2013 National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago in early August. 

“Yasiel’s rocket-like ascent this season has been one of the most captivating stories baseball has produced in quite some time, and we look forward to working with him,” said Panini America CEO Mark Warsop. “We’ve already incorporated some of Yasiel’s first Rookie Cards into products that will be releasing soon, but we wanted the relationship to be more than that by delivering his authentic autographed memorabilia and by having him help us entertain our most important fans, collectors and partners at our VIP event at the National Sports Collectors Convention.”

Puig will sign a customized Panini Authentic photo as part of the special #PaniniVIP event.
