They are now manking pickle ball cards as well, apparently.
I'm all for non-major sports, but even I have a limit. Any sport that if I trained for about two weeks and could be the best in the world at, I don't need cards of.

Leaf also now has the license from PBA to make licensed bowling cards - first time Leaf got a license from a professional league I like their off beat Pro Set cards - they also have bowling, cornhole, billiards, and other things. Leaf also is making some NIL cards for college athletes in women's sports - but it annoys me that they are "Influencer" cards rather than athletic cards. But then the big NIL deals for college athletes in women's sports seem to be mostly based upon how they look and their willingness to go on social media in skimpy clothing rather than their athletic performance. And Leaf definitely is following that pattern. A much sadder statement on society than it is on Leaf.
But really, I just have to marvel at how Leaf has decided that now is the best time to put out the Jim Harbaugh/J.J. McCarthy dual autograph card given the increasingly bizarre spy scandal around Harbaugh now
I'm guessing this was planned for a while and just happens to be bad timing. P.T. Barnum said "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
These might sell like crazy since they are in the news. Michigan could win the national championship this year.

They could simply have some absolutely terrible timing On the other hand, they also issued an autograph card of the BS High alleged scammer guy and that Joe Exotic guy (signed from federal prison) - so it might simply be that Leaf is devoid of taste
You make a lot of good points. Leaf might have a curse on them or they just don't give a crap of who signs cards for them.
It seems like we are living in a world where people don't care what they are selling as long as they are making money. Either way, I'm not buying this stuff.
Leaf has a new set of metal Thanksgiving autos out
I admit this one is both particularly appropriate (Wells plays for Virginia Tech whose logo is a turkey) and headscratching (not only is Virginia Tech bad, Wells was benched earlier this year so while this is an amazingly cool card for a Virginia Tech player in theory, its odd that they are making this at all) https://shop.leaftradingcards.com/produc...ough-11-17 They got a bunch of others of these up - including a Purdy
Leaf now has Air Noland autograph cards up now - unlike the base ones, they actually noticed his name is Air and not Ari.
Breaking News: Leaf has been purchased by something called Orange Mountain Capital
https://deal.town/leaf-trading-cards/imp...P3JFJQ9PW4 This is pretty much the sum knowledge of who or what Orange Mountain Capital is: https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/Ent...earch.aspx note the formation date - very likely an entity set up for the sole purpose of purchasing Leaf Trading Cards If there was any worry that a new owner might change Leaf away from being the company we know and love, well, I don't think we got to worry: https://shop.leaftradingcards.com/produc...ll-bas-coa They also added a new autograph card of someone who is identified as being an influencer |
