Nhl Player Cards: Toronto Maple Leafs
I am a lifelong Maple Leaf fan, now retired, who started making custom cards for myself for Toronto players who never had a card issued in a Maple Leaf uniform. . Posting some of these on eBay led to the proverbial “snowball down the hill”!!!
Soon requests for teams and other games began to grow to the point where I now have a core group of collectors that I make cards for.
