2023 Panini Player of the Day
Arch Manning break-out game sparks even more card demand
What happens when an established college cardboard commodity has a break-out game? We're about to find out ...
Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman QB Arch Manning -- the nephew of Eli and Peyton -- propelled his team to a dominating victory on Saturday and to the top of the AP rankings with a crazy day in relief of an injured starter, Quinn Ewers.
Manning completed nine of 12 passes for 223 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed for one more in a 56-7 drubbing of UTSA and that's just one more reason why people are buying and chasing down his cards from Panini America right now and perhaps more than ever before. That chasing wasn't a new thing -- he was a known player on cardboard (Thanks, NIL!) since before his first real snaps for Texas last season (one game) and first TDs (one passing, one rushing in some garbage time) last month.
Just like that, Manning has seemingly arrived -- depending on Ewers' injury status -- and just like the Heisman chatter the cardboard chatter has intensified for a lot of his stuff, which was already selling well.
