opened my box of benchwarmer bubblegum on christmas eve,fab cards,but the gum does have a bitter after taste lol

A lot of people don't like Brian because of Razor, and now to a lesser extent Leaf, but I've seen nothing but him trying to bend over backwards to keep collectors satisfied.

I think/hope he means Brian Wallos and not Brian Gray. If the latter has his hands in Benchwarmer (on top of everything else), that will just be one more product I can no longer support.

I could swear Brian Gray does Benchwarmer now, but maybe I'm wrong. I guess it's possible Brian Wallos borrowed the idea of Vault from Gray.

Brian Gray does not own Benchwarmer. I believe him and Brian Wallos work together from time-to-time, but as totally separate companies.

Actually, I'd bet you're right. Gray used the old Razor twitter account to announce a Benchwarmer release in late 2009 before using the same account to announce the move to "leaf_cards".
Thanks for the info, Ryan.

Benchwarmer cards are distributed by Leaf now.

When I order, they are listed under the Leaf products. But, nowhere on the Benchwarmer box does it mention Leaf, so I think it's just a distribution deal.

Similar to what Inkworks did with both Panini (Naruto) and Dynamic Forces (Dawn 15th).
