Fresh off an appearance on Capitol Hill to participate in an NIL roundtable discussion hosted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the Cavinder Twins - Haley and Hanna - joined Leaf Trading Cards for a special live stream on Whatnot to break cards and sign with unique inscriptions.

The "NIL Twins" - as they signed on cards - launched exclusive on-card inscriptions with Leaf during the stream, furthering their collaboration with the trading card brand.

As part of their "Web Exclusive" collection, Leaf is selling a dual autograph card ($59.99) with both signatures plus "It's all about the U!" and "Go Canes!" inscriptions - referencing their time playing for the University of Miami - and individual signed cards ($29.99).

Although Hanna has retired from basketball and Haley sat out the season while transferring to TCU for 2024-25, they are still among the most impactful people across the NIL industry. 

"Leaf is thrilled to announce the successful finalization of a fresh partnership with the Cavinder Twins, Haley and Hanna," CJ Breen, Leaf's Director Of Marketing and Licensing told Sports Illustrated. "Renowned for their exceptional performance both on and off the court, they embody the essence of being Leaf athletes. Alongside the revelation of our partnership, the twins have autographed unique, on-card inscription cards featuring the phrase 'Twins of NIL.' This marks yet another milestone for Leaf as the foremost inclusive trading card brand, boasting a substantial roster of female athletes."

The Cavinder Twins count Boost Mobile, Champs Sports, Raising Cane’s, Intuit TurboTax, Core Hydration, WWE, PSD Underwear, Six Star Pro Nutrition, Caktus AI, among their many brand partners.

Leaf has been a force in the NIL space, collaborating with a diverse roster of athletes and creators such as Livvy Dunne of LSU, Paige Bueckers of UConn, Donovan Edwards of National Champion Michigan and soon-to-be top NFL Draft choice Caleb Williams of USC.

In January, returning college football stars Jalen Milroe of Alabama and Travis Hunter of Colorado launched their own limited edition anime-style cards ($19.99). Designed by Japanese illustrator, manga artist and caricature artist, Shion Minabe.
