“As I enter into the professional phase of my career, I’m excited that one of the first deals is an exclusive autograph trading card agreement with Panini,” Hunter said. “As a kid, I collected Panini cards and imagined my face on a card one day. To know that fans will be able to get my Panini rookie card all over the world is a dream come true.”
