Leave it to iconic New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter to make history — again. For the first time ever, one of the most beloved players in the storied history of pinstripes will have autographs in Panini America products beginning with the release of 2014 Classics Baseball on November 19. The autographs, buy-backs of original Donruss-branded cards dating back to 1999, were completed in a signing conducted with and authenticated by Steiner Sports.
