The NFL's top QB will be signing in every Panini America product this season.

That's thanks to the Patrick Mahomes Autograph Collection revealed by the company on Wednesday, a project that announces his presence back in the Panini autograph lineup for the first time in four years with authority, and offers a chase beyond any brand-specific finds for the Kansas City Chiefs star.

It's "a rare 25-card, cross-brand autograph insert that will be dropped -- one card at a time -- into products, with the first three falling in 2025 Certified football, 2025 Origins football and 2025 Absolute Football, respectively," according to Panini. "Each card in the set, which thoroughly chronicles Mahomes’ spectacular career so far, is signed on-card by Mahomes and limited to 20 copies or less."

For years now, autographed books coming direct from the publishers -- or direct from the authors themselves -- have been an affordable way to collect ink from notable names in all realms of pop culture.

It's not a perfect system with stamped autos, fakes and autopens sometimes in the mix -- a problem for publishers to catch as they are not authenticators -- but thanks to dedicated collectors on the Blowout Cards Forum and elsewhere, those problems often get caught and fixed ... or at least become well-known enough to avoid if it's an issue that goes uncorrected.

Getting ink in-person is always best -- book tours still happen, of course -- but landing autographed editions from publishers, online sellers or celebs themselves via their websites or other appearances are common.

Our latest subject and autograph in this ongoing series? A member of The Sandlot cast, Patrick Renna.
