Leaf Trading Cards

Yeah, I just, I think, I mean, we can talk really quickly about other companies.

I think Leaf, their products are not saving me year on year.

They are very much doing whatever the hell they want.

And I think Penny, to a degree, actually, I will give Penny some credit.

Leaf is wild.

But Panini, in all their credit, with what licenses they have left to go with, I think the fact that they are trying still to do, you know, we've had Combat Anthology, we've had the Wrestling Legends, the MLW stuff, it seems to be different each time that comes around.

So I do think actually Panini are trying their best to do things differently and still try and keep their place in the market.

So I just see them going more that way, kind of fading into obscurity a little.

The quality of the cards is good for the most part.

But I also think there are products like Leaf out there, which sometimes gets a, a bad rap, but Leaf have been supporting women in sport for decades, and we have a women in sport product.

We are, full disclosure, we are a Leaf direct seller in Australia.

Okay.

And part of why I pursued that was because of their commitment to women's sport.

It's a unique product that they've been there, they've been in the trenches, um, showing support when s- collectors weren't clamoring for that market.

Yeah.

I think we've segued a tiny bit, but now we are talking about Leaf.

But he is hoping to get back on a regular cadence with us, and so I was really excited to be able to, uh, open a package and, uh, find three items we'll be opening in our second segment.

First segment has some fun stuff as well, including Leaf football, which I'm excited about.

Yeah.

And, um, a product from Parkside, as well as, oh yeah, a little product called Upper Deck Flagship NHL.

All right.

Perfect.

Next up, Leaf football.

We've got a post going.

... 'cause there's other people that do a gold vinyl.

I think Leaf will do a gold vinyl one of one, just like-

Mm-hmm

...

... that you have to avoid, and therefore limiting the good cards, and therefore creating more demand.

What was it-

You're welcome, Topps, Panini, Leaf, Upper Deck.

You're welcome.

I'll be posting that one here pretty soon on Instagram.

And I love the 05 Leafs entry.

It's kind of cool, and it's really cool for TTMers.

Uh, because it's, uh, a lot of it is like stamp related and they've even got an insert that has a stamp, like a, like an older stamp.

Um, like, subscribe, uh, leave a comment down below, um, as well.

And, uh, and you and I are off to a wrestling show on Saturday here in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens, where Edge, AKA Cope, AKA Adam Copeland, will be wrestling for the first time at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Are you psyched?

Oh, it's gonna be amazing.

I gotta wear my shirt.

I'll bring my, my championship belt and everything." So.

Yeah, Maple Leaf-

He's more excited than I am, I think.

It was good.

I bought a £15 box of Leaf.

So, as you know, I do like Leaf.

And, yeah, I bought a box to open.

I don't know what...

This is the only thing I will say about the event.

I don't know what happened with Leaf, but I knew that they were meant to be there.

But on the Saturday, their booth was bare.

Out of a $900 box.

So you want Leaf Basketball?

Yeah, Leaf Basketball.

I think it's Basketball.

It might be just Leaf.

I don't remember.

This is an older product, but this is what I can see so far.

Yeah.

Phenomenal stuff.

And for me, whether it's made by Upper Deck or President's Choice or Leaf or ITG, to me, it doesn't matter.

If I can get a unique patch that costs less money every day, all day, to me, that's the best.

Perfect.

And once again, when he heard these patches or these sticks, like anything Hall of Famer.

Even Cujo.

He played for the Leafs.

But when someone says, hey, what about Cujo, Curtis Joseph? I think of that sick upper deck blues card.
