(WFRV) – A new collectible trading card set featuring Milwaukee Brewers players is now available — but you’ll need to talk to a local police officer to get one.
The Brewers have partnered with law enforcement agencies across Wisconsin to distribute the comic-style baseball cards, expanding a program that was previously limited to Milwaukee County.

“We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to the revived baseball trading card print program, with departments throughout the state highly interested in distributing in their locales,” said Rick Schlesinger, Brewers president of business operations. “We look forward to working locally with the Green Bay Police Department and developing a future generation of Brewers fans.”

The trading cards include Brewers fan favorites such as outfielders Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick, catcher William Contreras, and infielders Brice Turang and Joey Ortiz.
In Green Bay, officers will hand out the cards, which feature vibrant comic book-inspired designs and playful phrases like “Ka-Brew!” to connect with children and encourage positive community relationships.

“The Green Bay Police Department and Brewers trading card prints partnership is about more than just sharing and collecting cards, it is about positively impacting our youth with a shared common interest, team building, and lifelong relationships,” said Cmdr. Shannon Seymer-Tabaska of the Green Bay Police Department. “Each card shared is a small deposit to build upon a lifetime investment of inspiring our youth to walk alongside our police officers as ambassadors to serve and keep our community safe.”
Seymer-Tabaska, a Milwaukee native and Brewers fan, said she was inspired to become a police officer after receiving baseball cards from officers as a child.
