Last week Leaf stepped
in to the on-demand trading card market with the release of Leaf Live. The way
the program works is similar to Topps Now and Panini Instant/Eternal where a
card is designed based on an athlete or event and it is sold for a limited
time. Leaf Live cards are open for a 1-week period and are being sold through
Leaf’s eBay store with cards selling at $4.99 with free shipping, larger lots
are available.
The first card is Gene
Wilder, which has led to some people to be angry over Leaf’s use of Wilder’s
passing as a way to sell cards but those people seem to forget this happens
quite often like the 2005 Topps Chronicles release, even yesterday my post was
a memorial card for Andy Whitfield. I believe that Brian Gray had this card
designed out of complete respect for Gene Wilder and in his memory.
The next two cards on
the checklist are currently available with #2 Yoan Moncada through today and #3
Dak Prescott through 9/12/16.
