In early 2012 Leaf plans to release a product entitled Vince Lombardi Collection. It will be much like their ’11 Pete Rose Legacy, but instead the majority of the cards will be geared towards the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers are one of the most established and distinguished football franchises in history. Being founded in 1919 there is almost 100 years of history to cover. There are a lot of players and events to cover over that time period, most notably their 13 World Championships.
According to Leaf, they have 80% of the autographs needed. Leaf was able to get a bunch while they were in Chicago for the Sun Times Show. Collectors will be able to look for rare inscriptions. The Packers are 10-0 so far and Aaron Rodges can do no wrong. He is truly playing like a gridiron god. If the Packers keep this pace and go all the way, Leaf could score big with a product like this. I think Leaf will score big anyway, but having the Packers win the Super Bowl couldn’t hurt.

This is freaking awesome!! I have to say everything I’ve seen with the Pete Rose Legacy cards is so well done. I think if Leaf can keep putting out that kind of quality without a major sports license, I shudder to think of what it could put out if it ever acquires one!
