That would severely weaken the entire roster of 2011 MLB products. Leaf/Razor has yet to produce a baseball product that created any mainstream collecting buzz or that has shown itself to be a good investment. Having them with an exclusive to the most hyped hitting prospect in many years would have been "bad for the hobby." That might change if Leaf somehow got an MLB license, but I personally would prefer for Panini to get the opportunity to challenge Topps rather than Leaf.
There was no reason to believe that Leaf had any intention of making baseball cards if they inked Harper. I believe the intention was to turnaround and resell autos at a markup and sell auto'd merch. I believe that was the gist of the convo I had with BG in Baltimore.
That be it, I remember that conversation vividly.
It was an entertaining conversation.
