(Las Vegas, August 29, 2023) Poker Royalty, the industry’s premier poker representation agency, is excited to announce a new project with Leaf Trading Cards that will bring a brand new Poker Trading Card set to the market in 2024.
“We are thrilled to announce this exciting project with Poker Royalty,” said Josh Pankow, Vice President of Leaf Trading Cards. “Our last project together was a decade ago and we both agreed it has been too long. Even better, we’ve already got Phil Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Dan Weinman (2023 WSOP Main Event Winner) attached to this project. When this set is released, we will have a ton of great cards covering poker players from all eras including the newest players people are excited about!”
This set marks the fifth time Poker Royalty and Leaf have teamed up to bring poker fans a unique collectable involving their favorite poker players. Previous sets were released in 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011 featuring 200+ poker players and celebrities. Poker’s rising popularity has spurred Leaf to build and release their 5th set in 2024 featuring 40 of the most popular players in the game.
‘Like a lot of kids, I collected sports cards growing up. To think I will have my own trading card is crazy to me and I’m really excited about it” said Dan Weinman, 2023 WSOP Main Event winner and featured player included in the 2024 Leaf trading set. “I remember seeing those poker cards years ago and seeing a Hellmuth, Negreanu, and a Tom Dwan card. Now Leaf is bringing this idea back with new players and someone out there will find my signed card. I love it!”
More info will be made available closer to the 2024 release date.
