Another sign something was coming? The website The Athletic recently
posted this image from draft night showing Williamson
signing autographs with Panini officials on hand.
Williamson's presence in Panini America's National redemption packs
and VIP Party packs last week also was a good sign,
though there were no autographs to be found with those releases.
Even without link, they are commanding big money out of those promo packs.
