  "account": "On October 7, 2026, the Philadelphia 76ers announced a multi-year partnership with Derek Jeter's Arena Club. The agreement designates Arena Club as the Official Trading Card Platform for the 76ers. In exchange, the team will feature trading card giveaways at home games, a player pack-opening series, and card-themed graphics throughout the 2026-27 NBA season. Additionally, Arena Club becomes the presenting sponsor of the 76ers' \"Starting Lineups\" graphics, displayed within the arena and on social media. Fans attending home games will have chances to receive trading cards through in-arena parachute drops. The 76ers are not Arena Club's first NBA partner; the San Antonio Spurs partnered with the company in January 2026, making it the company's first NBA franchise. The Philadelphia Eagles also signed a multi-year deal with Arena Club in August 2026, featuring similar promotions. Founded in 2022, Arena Club operates a trading card marketplace and grading platform utilizing AI-assisted grading technology. The company offers digital ownership and collection-management tools, with Slab Packs being a notable product. With this latest deal, Arena Club aims to bring its collecting ecosystem to fans in NBA arenas, giving Philadelphia-based collectors the chance to participate in upcoming home-game activations and giveaways.",
