Arch Manning Signs Exclusive Trading Card and Autograph Deal With Topps

Arch Manning is joining Topps. Topps announced that the Texas quarterback has signed an exclusive trading card and autograph deal with the company, with his first autographs scheduled to arrive in Bowman Football this fall.

“We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve signed star Texas QB Arch Manning to an exclusive trading card & autograph deal,” Topps said in its announcement on X. “His first autographs arrive in Bowman Football this fall.”

The deal brings Manning into a 2026 Bowman Football release that Topps is positioning as a major return for the brand. According to Topps, the new product will combine active NFL players and college prospects in the same Bowman Football set for the first time.

Manning is among the college players Topps has specifically named for the release. Topps also says his appearance will be his debut on a Topps-branded card and will carry the 1st Bowman designation.

The Topps signing follows a previous exclusive trading card relationship between Manning and Panini America.

Panini announced its agreement with Manning in July 2023, describing it as a multi-year partnership that included exclusive autographed trading cards. Panini said at the time that it was Manning’s first NIL brand partnership.

The relationship began with a particularly notable collectible. Panini auctioned Manning’s first card, a 1-of-1 Throwback Prizm Black with an on-card autograph, in July 2023. The card sold for $102,500, with the proceeds benefiting a Central Texas nonprofit through St. David’s HealthCare and St. David’s Foundation.

Panini said Manning would appear in its collegiate and NIL trading card products and that the two sides would work together on special Manning NIL cards during the agreement.

Their relationship later expanded beyond cards. In April 2025, Panini announced an exclusive, multi-year autographed memorabilia agreement with Manning. At the time, Panini said the memorabilia agreement built upon its existing exclusive trading card partnership with him. The initial memorabilia offerings included autographed photographs, helmets and jerseys.

Now Manning is set to make his Topps debut as part of the return of Bowman Football.
