2024 NFL Rookies... Fanatics vs Panini?

[garpike]

Does anyone have a list of 2024 Rookies who are Fanatics exclusive and if there are any, Panini exclusive for autos and such?

I have looked around online and didn't really see a definitive list.

Thanks!

Exclusive is open ended. Fanatics has a bunch, and below is the list of their main players. Keep scrolling down on there, and you can view by sport.

But these are mainly exclusive to signings and perhaps some memorabilia, like game used. If a player is in their Players Association. That gives blanket rights for anyone with the PA license to use their likeness. Which makes the No Caleb stuff strange. Unless he isn't in the PA? Someone can be exclusive to Fanatics, like CJ Stroud. But still appear on cards, like Panini. Since Panini has the NFL PA license.

It will NEVER happen but...

It would be great if Panini let Topps make licenesed cards that are inserted in Panini projects. It would make Panini projects worth it and provide a lead-in for Topps taking over.

Never going to happen... but at least we'd have licensed Caleb RCs.

Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Malik Nabers are all Fanatics guys that you won't see autos of in Panini products. And apparently in Caleb Williams case, maybe no cards other than Instant? Not sure what's going on there.

Odunze appears on Fanatics' list but it looks like that one is for public/private signings and memorabilia, not cards.

Panini has JJ McCarthy and Michael Penix signed to exclusives though.

It's hard to say if anyone else falls in either of those categories, and it's going to be real wonky until Fanatics takes over.

Could this have something to do with no Caleb?

Nope. If anything, its the opposite. If he violated any rules (specifically having a non NFL approved agent or anyone besides himself negotiate his contract). He would only be in violation, if he was in the NFLPA.

And being in the NFLPA, means he grants his likeness to anyone who gets an NFL Players Association group license to make wares.

Which is why its weird for him to not be in any NFL sets yet. Since he is in the NFLPA

From a hobby perspective, product with no Caleb is a LOT less attractive. I know there's other guys but Calebs is THE "chase" player to start the season. Why in the world would he not be in Score?

Caleb was at the NFLPA Rookie Premier. Which primarily exists, to get pictures and autos to be used on cards. As well as gear to be chopped up into cards.

And if you go through the pictures from the event. Someone is sitting in the Panini area signing a bunch of sticker sheets.

I think this is more of a Score brand issue. And Panini holding back the first True RC for a different product IMO

Interesting. Makes sense.

Caleb had a couple of Panini Instant cards during the preseason. Picked them up because just didn't know if/when he would have other rookie cards in a Bears uniform available.

Also, I wonder how those Topps Now cards of Caleb and Jayden did.

The list is bigger. Xaiver Worthy, Bo nix. Everyone who gets a topps now Card. and more. On draft night there was a list fanatics tweeted which was pretty big, and includes players not on website.

So it seems everything is up in the air for now.
This transition is really mucking everything up for a bit.

Rumor is Caleb's first RC will drop in Luminance. Let's all hit the panic button, once that checklist comes out.

You expect a checklist to be provided before the product is released?

I sure as hell don't

When they leave off the biggest chase player in the draft? No, I expect them to hide it like Score. If he is in Luminance, I think they might.

Good thing Caleb looks to be a bomb like Bryce.

[glassofwater]

That auto checklist looks worse and worse.

no
Bo Nix, Xaiver Worthy, Brock Bowers

[glassofwater]

Brock bowers officially to the list
