Harlem Globetrotters & Keepsake Trading Cards Launch Centennial Trading Card Collection

The world-famous, Harlem Globetrotters™ and Keepsake Trading Cards today announced that a limited edition trading card set will debut later this summer, the first trading card set for the club in over 25 years. It is the latest fan-centric addition for the organization as they continue through their Centennial season, which began last month and will continue around the world.

“The collectable world continues to expand its reach, and this partnership with Keepsake gives us the ability to again find ways to connect with fans around the world in a very special way,” said Keith Dawkins, President, Harlem Globetrotters & Herschend Entertainment Studios. “The limited edition set will provide a surprise and delight for everyone and will be a really special way for fans of all ages to connect our past, present and future.”

“The Globetrotters are one of those hallmark properties that fans around the world can identify with,” said Scott Allen of Keepsake Trading Cards. “ We believe these limited editions sets will quickly become must haves for collectors of all ages and backgrounds around the world.”

The limited edition sets, which will be available both on site at select arenas and hobby shops and online at www.keepsaketradingcards.com will feature cards of the current athletes on tour, as well as legends like Curly Neal, “Sweet Lou” Dunbar, and many others.

The initial collection will feature signatures and game used memorabilia from the Harlem Globetrotters players. Collectors can be on the lookout for special upcoming announcements for additional current and past basketball stars who will be included within the Harlem Globetrotters sets.

The Globetrotters Centennial season launched in January and is continuing throughout the world, visiting over 200 domestic markets and another 125+ internationally. Fans can expect all-new surprises like the Golden Basketball by Spalding®, epic pre-game Magic Pass experiences, 100 Year limited edition merchandise and many other new innovations for the “Ambassadors of Basketball.” International markets such as France, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Mexico, and across Asia are just a few of the many locations the Harlem Globetrotters will be touring in winter of 2026 and running through the remainder of the year.
