Sports Cards Live Tonight - Gregg Kohn, Leaf Trading Cards VP Product Development (He wants your input!)

[Ohka]

One thing we didn't get into last night was, who would you like to see have signatures in upcoming products that maybe event had auto cards in a bit?

What comes to my mind are something like Triple Autocards of players from the same country ( this was done perhaps already ) , but I`m thinking of players from the old Soviet Union ( Makarov ; Krutov ; Larionov ) , as I liked those themed cards in your produrcts a lot ( 4 Your Country ; Countrymen ; and the Soviet All-Time Gr8ts in 2018 ITGU ) . Perhaps this can be done for smaller countries , too ( Switzerland ; Latvia ; Germany ; France ; Slovenia ) .

These are tentative:

Lumber Kings end of September
ITGU end of October
Pearl End of December

Thanks a lot . ITGU is my favourite product , so really looking forward to this .
I guess Stickwork as a stand-alone product isn`t on the near future agenda , but let me say that in my opinion the direction it went from the releases 2015 to 2017 to the last product , 17 / 18 , was phenomenal .

Right now there are no plans for a Masked Men stand alone. However, that doesn't mean there won't be in the future. I just need to find more quality goalie memorabilia and get some new deals with Goalies for signatures. Any goalies you would like to see?

Gregg, thank you for the response. I will continue to purchase any Leaf cards/products that feature Olaf Kolzig. Thank you for finding ways to include Kolzig cards in most of your products. Hopefully you have plenty of Kolzig memorabilia left, because Leaf is almost single-handedly keeping my Kolzig collection alive.

I was hoping for another Masked Men release to possibly chase a Kolzig mask card and parallels. It seems like he got pulled from the mask and autograph checklists in the first year (was it because of the Don Beaupre photo that was used?), and only had a memorabilia card in the second year.

As for other goalies beyond Kolzig, I would be happy to see any Capitals goalies. I know that ITG/Leaf has had material from a Beaupre Caps jersey, and probably a few others.

I appreciate your willingness to communicate and take suggestions here.

Great episode and thank you for the shoutout. I appreciate it, guys!

That Jhonas Enroth card upcoming in Leaf Pearl sounds amazing. Thank you! I'm not sure the logistics around it, but getting some signatures from Enroth would be sweet, too. He has a good amount of collectibility from collectors overseas, surpisingly.The low-numbered stuff would be desirable from die hard Sabres fans as well. Nothing guarenteed of course, but something to think about.

3 goalies in particular. Giacomin, Ed Giacomin, and Eddie Giacomin! Lots of single player cards please LOL.

That didn't sound redundant, did it?

There will be a new 4 Your Country with some different countries this time like Germany, Czech, Switzerland and others plus the usual Canada, US, Russia, Finland, Sweden

Would be great to see some hall of famers who haven’t had much hobby love. I don’t think Geraldine Heaney, Angela Ruggiero and Vaclav Nedomansky have signed for any product before, and several others haven’t been included in anything recently.
