Ace Authentic, formerly based in Duluth, Georgia,[1] manufactured tennis trading cards and memorabilia, and sold other items such as photographs and posters.[2] They partnered with more than 350 tennis players and legends to provide items, such as autographs and game worn material, not found through other dealers.[3]
Ace Authentic entered the trading card market in 2005.[3]
In December 2012, Leaf Trading Cards purchased the tennis trading card business and assets from Ace Authentic. This acquisition made Leaf the primary maker of licensed tennis trading cards, leading to the release of the final branded set, 2013 Leaf Ace Authentic Grand Slam Tennis.
