In a statement released Friday night, sports-card company Panini America announced that “a small quantity” of signatures on cards that allegedly featured autographs of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott “may not be authentic.” Earlier this week, a sports-card authenticating company claimed that some of the Prescott cards in Panini’s 2016 Prizm set contained autographs created by an autopen signing machine and not Prescott’s actual signature.
The company added that it met with Prescott and his representatives, saying they “have no knowledge” of how the fake autographs ended up on the Panini cards.
Panini says it recalled all its cards featuring Prescott’s signature and halted deliveries to 110 customers, though it could not stop delivery to another 167 and could not account for some of the other Prescott-autographed cards it made. The company is asking anyone who has received a Prescott autograph card to return it in exchange for a new card featuring Prescott’s autograph. Those cards will contain a special hologram to differentiate them from the possibly fraudulent cards.
The company also announced that Prescott had agreed to a long-term contract extension on his autographed trading-card agreement.
