Fanatics and Two-Time All-Star Paul Skenes Announce Exclusive Memorabilia Partnership!
Comprehensive deal includes autographed merchandise, game-used equipment, and inclusion in Fanatics’ premium Under Wraps product line.
Fanatics, a global digital sports platform and leading provider of licensed sports merchandise and memorabilia, announced a landmark, exclusive memorabilia partnership with baseball superstar Paul Skenes. Skenes now joins some of the biggest names across sports on Fanatics’ roster of athletes housed under the company’s memorabilia and collectibles division, Fanatics Authentic.
Currently in his second MLB season, the new partnership sees Fanatics become the sole distributor of Skenes’ full portfolio of officially licensed memorabilia products. The collection will include autographed and inscribed baseballs, jerseys, hats, photos and more, as well as feature a unique assortment of game-used equipment from throughout his decorated career.
In addition to this assortment available directly to consumers, Skenes’ memorabilia will also be featured in Fanatics Authentic’s product line, Under Wraps, which offers fans a wide array of licensed sports memorabilia in a mystery format, including the Emanate line, featuring signed photos where distinct color variants instantly signify each item’s limited-edition status and rarity.
The first overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft, Paul Skenes has become one of the most dominant pitchers in recent memory. Skenes’ impressive resume includes becoming the only pitcher, and only one of five MLB players ever, to start in the All-Star Game in each of his first two seasons. Prior to turning professional, Skenes dominated at the collegiate level, winning both the Dick Howser Trophy, awarded annually to the national college baseball player of the year, and National Pitcher of the Year Award following his junior season while leading the LSU Tigers to a College World Series title and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.
“Paul Skenes has quickly become one of baseball’s most popular stars and Fanatics is thrilled to be working together,” said Fanatics executive vice president Victor Shaffer. “What makes this partnership so exciting is the perfect match between a player of Paul’s caliber, who has taken the sport by storm, and the exclusive memorabilia and collectibles to celebrate his accomplishments that will become treasured pieces by fans and collectors of all ages.”
Skenes joins a star-studded roster of athletes across all sports to have an exclusive memorabilia partnership with Fanatics Authentic including Tom Brady, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Auston Matthews, Victor Wembanyama, Harry Kane, Sabrina Ionescu and JuJu Watkins.
Trace ‘N Chase is a proud Authorized Retailer for Topps & Fanatics products, carries a wide lineup of trading cards and will happily offer Paul Skenes licensed memorabilia when they become available!
