IF statements with strings from PyTesseract

I'm a complete novice at all of this (including Python), but I need it for a problem I'm working on. I've annotated my code so hopefully it's easy to see what I've done. I'm trying to read a section of my screen in realtime, with whatever text is detected by the OCR being compared to all of the if/else statements. When it matches, I want it to print a string. Currently, the realtime OCR detection is working, but it doesn't go through the if/else statements to print the correct strings. I know this as print(tesstr) gives correct outputs but the current code doesn't produce any output.

# cv2.cvtColor takes a numpy ndarray as an argument
import numpy as nm

import pytesseract

# importing OpenCV
import cv2

from PIL import ImageGrab


def imToString():

    while(True):

        # ImageGrab-To capture the screen image in a loop.
        # Bbox used to capture a specific area.
        cap = ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(267, 225, 344, 257))

        # Inverted the image for it to be easily
        # read by the OCR and obtained the output String.
        tesstr = pytesseract.image_to_string(
            cv2.bitwise_not(nm.array(cap)),
            lang='eng',
            config = '--psm 7')
        if (tesstr == '1'):
            print('Ace')
        elif (tesstr == '2'):
            print('Queen')
        elif (tesstr == '3'):
            print('King')
        ...
# Calling the function
imToString()
