The National Thoroughbred League (NTL) and Leaf Trading Cards have struck a deal for an exclusive license, which will create a range of the first-ever horse racing trading cards next spring, according to a press release from the league on Wednesday.
Through the partnership, the cards will depict horses, jockeys, owners and their uniform swatches just like collectibles do in other sports.
“We are excited to partner with the National Thoroughbred League,” said CJ Breen, director of marketing and licensing at Leaf Trading Cards. “This exclusive partnership allows us to bridge the passion of horse racing fans with the world of trading cards, delivering a product that captures the excitement and prestige of the sport.”
The 10-member league includes investors/team owners such as NFL star Lamar Jackson, NBA Hall of Famer Julius Erving and a host of other celebrities.
