MLW & Panini America Release First Look At Combat Anthology Collection [Exclusive]

Major League Wrestling and the Panini America collectible company announced a new multi-year exclusive partnership back in June, which saw Panini become the official trading card, memorabilia, and collectible sticker partner of MLW.

“As MLW’s global presence continues to grow, partnering with Panini – the worldwide leader in collectibles – is the perfect next step,” MLW Founder and CEO Court Bauer said earlier this summer. “MLW is built on iconic moments. Now, thanks to Panini, fans can collect those moments and own a piece of the fight.”

This partnership marked MLW's first entry into the world of officially licensed trading cards and collectibles, and now, the league and Panini are gearing up for the first in-store release of the Combat Anthology trading card box set on November 5.
