Texas quarterback Arch Manning sold his first trading card at auction Saturday through Panini America's website and broke a record doing so.

Manning's one-of-one Prizm Black autographed card, produced by Panini, was auctioned off for charity and sold for $102,500. That is the highest-selling card through the company's website, beating out a one-of-one Luka Doncic national treasures card that sold for $100,000.

All of the proceeds from the sale will benefit a Central Texas nonprofit with the help of St. David's HealthCare and St. David's Foundation. The winner of the auction is unknown, but will get to participate in a meet and greet with Manning, catch passes from him and take part in the check presentation for the proceeds.

The sale was part of Manning's first name, image and likeness deal he has agreed to since signing with Texas in the 2022 class.”



For f*ck’s sake.

They're called trading cards because back in the day, kids would actually trade with each other to try to get the whole set. Nobody does that anymore. Now adults buy an assload of cards hoping to land a gem or two. They should rename them collectible cards. I wonder how much the Arch Manning card will appreciate in value. Maybe the buyer doesn't care since it was for charity.
