Leaf Trading Cards filed a civil lawsuit against Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb seeking damages for an alleged breach of contract.
Mike Fisher of Sports Illustrated obtained a copy of the lawsuit filed in Texas, which cites the company's "loss of income and loss of goodwill" because of customers who failed to receive autographed cards from Lamb that were promised by the company.
Brian Gray, Leaf's CEO, posted a statement Monday on Twitter:
Brian GrayAs we shared last week, Leaf has filed the first ever lawsuit against an athlete in order to compel the completion of an autograph contract so customers holding redemptions are not forced to take replacements.
