When Panini sent Tre Mann his basketball cards for him to sign, he never thought that it would be insanely stacked. While that has been the way it works between sports card companies and the athletes themselves, it's always the first time that seems to be the most surprising, especially for this young Oklahoma City Thunder rookie.

In a post shared by Find Your Trove on Instagram, Mann can be seen speaking to Chaz Bleznick, a sports card and NFT enthusiast. The rookie was then showing off several stacks of basketball cards Panini sent him to sign.

As it can be seen in the video, these cards offer an early look at Panini's basketball-related products for the 2021-22 NBA season. Some of the cards shown were from Impeccable, Noir, and National Treasures, which are among the high-end sets from the card company. Also included in the cards Mann has to sign are the rarer rookie patch autos, which are usually numbered.

At this point in time, there isn't any confirmation when these sweet-looking cards will be released by Panini. What's certain, though, is that the Thunder's rookie guard has to sign them all and he has to be careful not to cause these cards any damage. Plus, since these are high-end products from Panini, collectors can be sure that they're going to be expensive when they hit the market.

If he takes good care of these cards, and he manages to stand out from the rest of the other young stars in the league, these Panini products will have a good chance to go up. As of now, Mann is averaging 9.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 21.4 minutes per game. If he develops properly, these cards he's currently signing are going to be a hit in the market.
