The Hobby Box boasts four autographs, two base/parallel cards, and one exclusive “mojo auto,” while the Jumbo Box features eight autographs, four base/parallel cards, a “pulsar auto” exclusive, and a “slabbed auto proof.” All cards in Leaf Metal will be numbered to 35 or less, adding to their collectible appeal.
One of the most coveted cards in Leaf Metal is a 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 rising stars like Nick Kurtz, Hagen Smith, and Konnor Griffin, as well as top prospect Roman Anthony and other notable names such as Chase Dollander, Dylan Crews, and Coby Mayo. The 2024 draftees are joined by rookies and recent grads like Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and James Wood, making this release a must-have for any baseball card collector.
Following Leaf Metal, the excitement continues with the release of “Leaf Press Pass Premium” on November 8. This premium set offers six base cards and parallels in each box, with a staggering five autographs included.

With a 100-card base set and a 100-card retro base set, collectors are in for a treat with eight parallels numbered to 35 or less for each set.
Leaf Press Pass Premium features autographs from the 2024 draftees such as Bazzana, Condon, Kurtz, Smith, and Burns, alongside future prospects like Ethan Holliday.
