First Peyton Manning, now Brock Osweiler.

The Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos have lost their second quarterback this week as Osweiler will be joining the Houston Texans, according to the NFL Network. It will be a four-year deal for $72 million -- a risk the Broncos apparently weren't willing to take.

Of all the moves agreed to and to come as a new season officially begins today, this and perhaps the DeMarco Murray trade have some hobby potential. Many others, though, don't figure to matter much on cardboard. Heck, some of the big names signing with new teams -- Malik Jackson, for example -- don't even have cards.

A slightly more higher-end version of the Panini America Prizmatic rainbow arrives with a different name today with 2015-16 Panini Select basketball -- a brand that packs all kinds of color along with a number of hits in a relatively small and affordable box.

Every 12-pack box includes three autographs or memorabilia cards with a standard card selection that's divided into three sets and some type of Prizm insert in every pack.

Continue reading →

Panini America's latest high-end football brand arrives today in the form of 2015 Panini Luxe, a premium all-hits brand that previously made its debut in basketball.

Each box includes three autos and one memorabilia card and there are just five boxes per case.

Super Bowl MVP Von Miller. UFC fighter Paige VanZant. Pittsburgh Steelers receiving machine Antonio Brown. Former CFL/NFL star and Heisman-winner Doug Flutie.

What do they have in common? They'll all be Dancing With The Stars when the show premieres for yet another season on March 21. 

A fourth of the dozen teams competing on the ballroom dancing competition come from the sports world, and, because of trading cards, they just might be the targets of the show's fans who want a collectable of their own.

Peyton Manning mentioned plenty of legends during his 11-minute retirement speech Monday in Denver, but only one name mentioned had as much gravitas as Manning's place in the game today.

That name was Johnny Unitas and Manning recalled meeting the Hall of Famer and Colts icon during his rookie season after a 38-31 loss back on Nov. 29, 1998.

"It was the first time that the Colts had returned to Baltimore since they had moved back in 1984," Manning remembered. "We didn’t exactly get a warm reception that day. The fans were screaming at me, and I kept thinking, 'Hey, I was only 8-years-old then, get off of my back.'

"I had met him once before, but when the game was over I had the chance to shake Johnny Unitas’ hand. He told me, 'Peyton, you stay at it. I’m pulling for you.' Well, I have stayed at it. I’ve stayed at it for 18 years and I hope that old No. 19 is up there with his flat top and maybe his black high-tops on and I hope he knows that I have stayed at it and maybe he’s even a little proud of me.

"There is just something about 18 years. Eighteen is a good number, and today I retire from pro football."

It was his last rodeo after all.

Peyton Manning's 18-year NFL career that includes five MVP awards, two Super Bowl rings and more touchdowns and passing yards than any other quarterback in history comes to an end on Monday in Denver when he's expected to announce his retirement.

Manning is among the most-available and most-collectable quarterbacks in the history of the game -- he's also one of the most-valuable ones, too. Rather than rehash his Rookie Cards or priciest gems (there are plenty of both), here are seven basic ways to collect the legendary quarterback beloved in Indianapolis, admired in Denver and made "Omaha" a bit more famous.

They've snuck their way into memorabilia cards in recent years making the actual items used on the field a bit more accessible, but one of the simplest traditions in Major League Baseball is nearly here.

Every big-league team wears green uniforms of some type during action on or around St. Patrick's Day and, of course, fans can get in on the action, too.

What: 2015-16 Panini Noir basketball cards
Arrives: May 25
Box basics: Seven autographs or memorabilia cards per 12-card box (three boxes per case)

Panini America's flagship baseball card release for the year is here in the form of 2016 Donruss, which is a brand that packs three hits per hobby box and even some chicken.

The brand is one that relies on the staples of collecting -- top players from the past and present, autographs, memorabilia, strong photos, vibrant designs and more -- while also harkening back to 1982 and other past Donruss releases.

And more is what you just might find inside a box.

What: 2016 Panini Flawless soccer cards
Arrives: May 25
Box basics: 10 cards -- six autographs, two memorabilia, two gems -- per box (two boxes per case).

What's buzz-worthy: Panini takes the stars of the pitch to its highest of high-end levels -- at least so far -- with the debut of Flawless, which will include "a wide assortment of the world’s best footballers of the past and present with all players shown in action for either their club team and/or their national team."

There's a surprise to be found in some packs of 2016 Donruss that officially arrives Wednesday as cards of Ted Giannoulas -- aka The Famous San Diego Chicken -- can be found inside.

Card No. 151 in the set is not a veteran, Hall of Famer or rookie -- it's a card of the world-famous and Hall of Famer mascot.

But more important than that card and all of its parallels? There are memorabilia cards and autographed memorabilia cards of the legendary mascot to be found as part of the product's overall nod back to 1982 -- the year of the Chicken's "Rookie Card."
