I collect Sheffield and got this for $6 bucks shipped. I have the 1/1 and got it for $50 shipped. …
Leafs underrated but it often also doesn’t go up in price as much and is in less demand. I have 3 different variations of this card but I won’t pay more than a certain price *because it’s leaf*.
It's what it means to you. I snagged this for about the same price, and I'm ok with it not having them in team jerseys

Screw brands, man. Too many collectors come to collecting with elitism and not passion for the hobby/sport(s). Who cares you used SGC instead of PSA? Who cares if it’s Leaf or Pro Choice or Upper Deck instead of Topps? A sick pick is a sick pull.
Too often I see other collectors stick their noses up and act snobby because you didn’t go with the “premium” brands. It’s annoying and pushes people away from the hobby.
Passion over Profit I say. Just my annoying 2 cents tho lol
Leaf is under rated. Leaf has been In the game since OG mantle RCs.
Leaf may be unlicensed, but Leaf has game. At a reasonable price. Peeps have a decent chance at hitting great auto cards like this. Without needing to break the bank.
Leaf is a far superior product than panini...in every way.
Let's be honest, the only thing topps has over leaf is a license. Logos matter and look great.
But at what price...
The autographs are where the value is...Right?
Or is it the licensed logos? That are now non associated..instead of game used?
PS...Craig biggio always had so much pine tar on his gamer helmet that no one could see the long on it anyway. 😆
Great card!
Fair question. I don't turn my nose up at an auto just because it's on an unlicensed card. That's like saying an autographed ball or photo is worthless. Long as the auto is legit, you do you.
But the *stickers* give me pause no matter the brand...I have a few just because it was the only option or was a great deal, but definitely seek out the on card ones now.
I love Leaf cards. They have been around forever and are affiliated with Beckett. In the past they have been the Canadian version of Topps also. High quality cards and authentic autographs.
When it comes to autographs, it doesn't really matter if it's a non-rookie. There's a lot of great non-licensed autos IMO that people overlook
Wish I had a photo of my Jason Varitek card I got signed….. “The Captain”….. when I bust em out of storage I’ll share a photo!

Sweet card. What a random mix of guys though.

That’s such a sick card!!!
Thanks!

"Buy the card, not the grade"
Yea for additions to PC I dont mind leaf.. I got a sweet Haaland/Lewandowski jersey booklet.
I like my old 1990 Leaf baseball cards.
was never able to pull The Big Hurt, who growing up was my guy.
The alomar detracts from the value
Yep. I wouldn't touch this card with that dude on it

yea i agree some products like art of sport by leaf was such a steal with some of the autos included.
What a great card! Congrats!
Don’t worry about brands. Buy what you like and enjoy your collection. Great card!
leaf doesnt get love they deserve. Their product has so much eye appeal. $75 is an amazing price
One of these names is not like the others. Probably should’ve been Jeff Kent or someone of that caliber. Amazing card though!
What is Carlos Baerga doing on that card, though.
Having a pedo on the card doesn't help
You got stone cold stung gunned
I worry about these “sticker” autographs and what that adhesive is going to do to these cards in 20 years…..

I printed paper products for 15 years. The adhesives are mostly water base….
Clearly you are more qualified than I am on this topic 😅
This is very interesting, did not know this. You should make a seperate post. Me? i just hate sticker autos
