With an athlete-driven focus, Club Legacyz is looking to re-define soccer cards.

The World Cup has come and gone, but the hype around soccer in the hobby is still at a fevered pitch. While Panini is still getting out Road to the World Cup sets, an up-and-comer in the hobby has been working on licensed national team cards of some of the biggest stars at the World Cup.

Club Legacyz is a European company with an interesting philosophy for making cards and the designs to match.

A Unique Idea for a Unique Brand

"At Club Legacyz, we are redefining the connection between athletes and their fans, collaborating with the greatest legends and rising stars in sport." That's the motto on the "About Us" section of Club Legacyz website. I reached out to Founder Noé Fraidenraich about the latest drops released after the World Cup.

Club Legacyz directly involved the athletes in the design of their cards. It allows them to reflect the style and personality of the athletes and give them ownership in the card as well.

"For me and my partners it was nonsense that athletes didn't have the final say on the design of their own cards. This is the main difference with Club Legacyz Icons Football Cards. They get to choose the designs and their collections," said Fraidenraich.

He added, "We found that players are like you and me. It is always cool to participate in a creative process, especially when it is about you and it is a turnkey process that is super fluid."
