Pickleball’s entry into pop culture was confirmed with the release of its own trading cards in the USA.
The release of the ‘Leaf Pickleball Premier Edition’ trading card set in September sparked interest and excitement from fans of the sport and trading card enthusiasts alike as names such as Tyson McGuffin and Simone Jardim were immortalised.
Each Leaf’s box will contain five cards – three base cards, a numbered collectible and a rare autographed player card.
Cards will also pay homage to achievements made both by individual players and doubles teams, as well as celebrating impressive statistical feats.
Not only will this set celebrate outstanding pickleball pros such as Ben Johns, Tyson McGuffin, Simone Jardim and Sarah Ansboury, but it will also stoke the rapid rise in popularity of pickleball as an exciting inclusive sport.
