Leaf Trading Cards is set to impress collectors and baseball fans alike with two exciting upcoming releases that offer a plethora of prospect autographs and exclusive inserts. The releases, Leaf Metal and Leaf Press Pass Premium, promise to feature top MLB Draft picks, veteran stars, and unique additions to any card collection.
Leaf Metal, which will debut on October 25, presents collectors with a choice of two box formats: Hobby and Jumbo. The Hobby Box includes seven cards, featuring four autographs, two base/parallel cards, and one exclusive “mojo auto.” On the other hand, the Jumbo Box offers 14 cards, with eight autographs, four base/parallel cards, one “pulsar auto” exclusive to the Jumbo Box, and one “slabbed auto proof.” All autographs and base parallel cards in Leaf Metal will be numbered to 35 or less.
A highly sought-after card in this release is the triple autograph card showcasing the top three picks of the 2024 MLB Draft: Travis Bazzana, Charlie Condon, and Chase Burns. The set also includes autographs from talented 2024 draftees like Nick Kurtz, Hagen Smith, and Konnor Griffin. Notable prospects such as Roman Anthony, Chase Dollander, and Coby Mayo are also featured, alongside potential future stars like Ethan Holliday. Rookies and recent graduates including Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and James Wood round out the impressive lineup.
Leaf Press Pass Premium, scheduled for release on November 8, offers collectors premium boxes containing six base cards and parallels, with five autographs in each box. One autograph per box will be numbered to 25 or less, adding to the exclusivity of the series. The set includes a 100-card base set and a 100-card retro base set, each with eight parallels numbered to 35 or less.
Autographs from 2024 draftees such as Bazzana, Condon, Kurtz, Smith, and Burns, as well as future prospects like Ethan Holliday, will be showcased in Leaf Press Pass Premium. The collection will also feature autographs from veteran stars like Mookie Betts, Ichiro, and Nolan Ryan, appealing to a wide range of collectors.
In the base set, autographs are numbered to 199 or fewer, while retro base autographs are limited to 49 or fewer. The release further includes a special “Press Box Signatures” insert featuring iconic names like John Smoltz, Jim Rome, and Vin Scully.
