The backgrounds are ridiculous but Leaf also sometimes picks some weird pictures of celebrities. I'm sure it has to do with licensing costs. Why else would Leaf not use a picture of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn holding a gun for the military set? It must be too expensive to license a still from one of the DC movies so they went with a cheaper red carpet photograph even though the end result is a truly bizarre card.

I wonder how many celebrities know about these Leaf cards.

When will it end? Is Leaf going out of business? Is it a tax dodge? How many sticker autos are they sitting on? There are 196 names/duals on the checklist for 2024 Leaf Metal Thanksgiving! That works out to 1,540 sticker autos in this set alone. I pity whoever has to keep track of the stickers.

Default 2024 Leaf Metal Halloween Exclusive

Not gonna lie I lol’d at the superfractor with the turkeys on it. Gimmick to the max territory here.

It makes no sense but eh, it’s fun. Brb checking if there’s any Harry Potter characters on it….phew don’t think I see any. Which means I’ll probably sit this one out.

It seems like there’s gonna be a Metal set for every season/holiday. I fully expect one for Christmas with candy canes, Christmas trees, and Santa’s. Looking forward to pulling a Helena Bonham Carter Santa auto. Embrace the weirdness I guess!

That would actually be innovative.

Default 2024 Leaf Metal Halloween Exclusive

2024 Leaf Metal Happy Holidays came out December 11 and is already sold out. $249.99 per box, two cards per box. Every card is a 1-of-1 this time around and there are seven holiday themed parallels.

https://www.leaftradingcards.com/pro...-web-exclusive

With only 15 days left in 2024, how many more sets can Leaf pump out before the end of the year?

Probably a Boxing Day and New Year's set at a minimum.

Such random people on the checklists.

This would be a beautiful card if not for the disembodied Santa heads in the background.

Edit: I can’t seem to get the image to embed properly on my phone. The link works.

Edit 2: I think I got the image to embed correctly.
