Dear Hobby, For the last year, the Leaf team and I have been looking for the right time and for the right person who could step into the CEO role at Leaf and allow me to pass the baton after over 30 years of building hobby businesses including my most recent success, Leaf Trading Cards. This has been a long race. For the first time within the past year, I am tired. I need to create margin in my life to focus on health, family and all the things I love about life that were relegated to the back burner over these 3 decades. Fortunately, the perfect person has been found to take the reins that will allow me to transition from this role. Leaf will share details very soon on this hand-picked successor. I do want to recognize that the team we have built is exceptional, without which I would not have been able to make this difficult choice. With that, today is my final day as Leaf's CEO. I thank you for your love and support as well as your passion for this hobby we all care about so much. There are plenty of big things happening with Leaf and those will be shared in future. Until then can count on Leaf’s unrelenting efforts to bring you the most diverse, interesting and value driven releases in the market. I love the hobby with all my heart, and I love you, my fellow collectors and friends. Brian Gray

Official statement from Leaf Trading Cards

Leaf was shopped to potential buyers over the last few months. 

IMO, his Leaf has always been a garbage company, just like his previous company Razor.  He was delusional thinking that merely purchasing the brand name "Leaf" would give his cards value.  He did nothing but tarnish the original Leaf brand name.

So... what your saying is he's turning over a new LEAF?

Leaf has it's own niche and has some nice cards

They even removed his superhero card for sale from the Leaf website...I guess it truly is official.

Aside from what I think of the cards his company made with him in charge, Gray himself has been awful to people on social media and I'm not sorry to see him go. Good riddance.

Some of the recent Leaf stuff has been interesting, but it's overpriced and there's way too much of it, particularly in the parallel aspect. It's not as bad as Wild Card, probably on par with Panini with the parallels, but there's just way too much of it with small print runs.
It's a terrible card company for traditional collectors and is obviously aimed at investors.

Who in their right mind would invest in Leaf product? Anyhow the guy is a tool so whatever
