Leaf Trading Cards is gearing up for two exciting baseball card releases, each packed with autographs, top MLB prospects, and unique inserts, including the first professional cards for many recent draftees.

Leaf Metal

Dropping this Friday, October 25, Leaf Metal will be available in both Hobby and Jumbo Box formats. The Hobby Box includes seven cards, featuring four autographs, two base/parallel cards, and an exclusive “mojo auto.” Meanwhile, the Jumbo Box comes with 14 cards, including eight autographs, four base/parallel cards, one “pulsar auto” exclusive to the Jumbo Box, and one “slabbed auto proof.” All autographs and base parallels are limited to 35 copies or fewer, adding rarity to each card.

A key highlight of this release is a triple autograph card showcasing 2024 MLB Draft top picks: Travis Bazzana, Charlie Condon, and Chase Burns. The set also includes autographs from other top draftees like Nick Kurtz, Hagen Smith, and Konnor Griffin. Baseball America’s top prospect, Roman Anthony, also makes an appearance, including a card in the nostalgic “91 Leaf” insert. Other featured prospects include Chase Dollander, Dylan Crews, Coby Mayo, and future talents like Ethan Holliday. Rookies like Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and James Wood are also part of this exclusive lineup.

Leaf Press Pass Premium

Arriving on November 8, Leaf Press Pass Premium offers collectors a high-end experience, with each premium box containing six base cards and parallels, including five autographs. At least one autograph per box will be numbered to 25 or fewer. The release includes a 100-card base set and a 100-card retro base set with eight parallels, each numbered to 35 or fewer.

This set features autographs from 2024 draft stars like Bazzana, Condon, Kurtz, Smith, and Burns, along with future draft hopefuls like Ethan Holliday. Fans of veteran players will find notable inclusions such as Mookie Betts, Ichiro, and Nolan Ryan. Autographs in the base set are numbered to 199 or fewer, while retro base autographs are capped at 49 or less. The “Press Box Signatures” insert adds an extra layer of excitement, showcasing iconic names like John Smoltz, Jim Rome, and Vin Scully.

Both of these releases will be available on Leaf’s website and at leading card retailers, promising fans and collectors a lineup that spans rising stars and beloved veterans, perfect for building a memorable collection.
