For Sure.

I personally have no problem with any of them. I've collected my share of Panini baseball cards. And I'll gladly pick up an unlicensed card for my PC.

Yep I have as well. I think the excitement of finding a Thomas card I don't have trumps the no logos.

Seems like some of them sell ok
At least for the bigger names ?

I view leaf just like the panini products lately. I collect Piazza as a Marlin, as long as I can tell its a florida uniform I'll grab them. Some have been amazing lookign cards. I have a gold and green Leaf metal auto, and missed out on the tie dye.

But the "Have Bat Will Travel", and other sets have caught my eye. I think as long as it's a chrome or prizm like finish and the airbrushing is tasteful- they are a great value.

Especially when the autos are real.

It’s nice to snag a card you like with an auto that isn’t several hundred dollars lol

I don’t know. My one non-Topps purchase was a Leaf printing plate auto of Juan Soto. Paid under $100. I’m more than happy with it. Some folks just stick to what they want and bash the rest.

Garbage which had and still has owners who do not care about the collectors. They will tell you they do however their actions will say otherwise over and over and over . Hence why the market does not care about their Terrible used car products pumped by used car salesmen who buy people silence. They had to buy the name leaf from bankruptcy in order to deceive collectors as if they kept their old name (razor) people would continue to not care at all. So thier brilliant plan was to buy an old name that people trusted to trick uneducated bananas .


Wanna play a fun game? try to find a real leaf collector/supporter who has not got free stuff from leaf in someway (free cards, inside info even free steak dinners) . We all will be waiting..

I have been wondering if they do manage to get unusual C-list Social Media 15 minute sensations on to cards. (I think so?) Hawk Tuah girl should have like a whole Leaf product.

Even worse when you realize leaf has zero connection to the original company leaf that they are stealing the original designs from. They bought the leaf name after being in bankruptcy for years. So it’s like you buying the name toys r us and filling the store with Temu products. Pass.

Being a patch collector first I have no problem with unlicensed cards or leaf as long as it has a players face. I can’t get into a card that no only has no logos but does even have a players face to it. So as long as the patch is nasty and has a players face on it, I’ll go for leaf or panini cards.

What if the patch is "sick" or "fire" and the card has the player's face on it? Do those count just the same?

[Poorboy]

Seems like somebody likes them
Some solid prices
Not bowman or topps kinda money but not bad lol

I always look at their cards as a cheaper way to obtain an autograph of a star player but I am not a fan of how they do parallel and numbering now. Now a lot of the lower numbering cards dont carry a premium because there are a lot of parallels that no one knows about. People dont do rainbow anymore. So sometimes /2, /3, /5, /7, /10, /15, they all sell for about the same.

The auto aspect is appealing
Seems like the older ones bring more ?

[Poorboy]

Some of the judge auto ones are nice

1 thing I give Leaf a lot of credit for is they have some very unique dual, triple, quad, 8 way autograph cards. All of guys on same team, all hitters from a particular decade, same city cards of guys across sports, 2 guys often compared across eras, etc. Topps/Panini don't make enough multi auto and game used stuff and when they do it's typically only for their high end products.

Agreed and I’ll add some of the patch cards look nice
Ain’t saying they real lol
But look nice
They had some jordan walker patch a few years ago that were cool

[ThatGuyPal]

I'll pick up a box before I do any singles. Most Leaf products have a good amount of autos with one usually being an ok name, and as evidenced on these boards Leaf's appeal seems to be people hitting cool cards that they keep in their collection as opposed to "I just hit this better check 130 Point". I've seen cards in the break sections I know I would be excited to hit but would jus pass by on Ebay. As someone said the various 1/1's don't help, but as sealed product it can be fun.

[Poorboy]

I know that when I wanted some orelvis cards I couldn’t afford any
But the leaf
Same as a few others I was simply priced out of
As mentioned a ton of different looks
Different 1/1 ect ect but for lot less I can have a few
Of guys I like to collect

[Poorboy]

And to each their own as mentioned
That’s why this is supposed to be such a fun hobby …..

I love Leaf.

Designs being rarely good is my biggest issue.

Non-sports cards are great though since there isn't any type of team logo.

Leaf Pop Century is a good set.

I'm your huckleberry!! I have purchased multiple, multiple hobby boxes and have a case full of Leaf products. Plenty of Topps, Bowman, Panini and Onyx in there as well. I have never received any free product from any manufacturer. I am however open to free stuff coming my way if they are listening!!
