2026 Leaf Metal Football is a mainstay of Leaf’s football lineup. The set includes a mix of base, autos, and inserts, and offers legends, prospects, and current stars. Among the included sets found in the release are the Metal X Autos, the Armed and Dangerous Auto series, and a set of On-Card autos. Many of the autograph sets also include an unsigned “base” version that can be seen as inserts. Standard hobby format boxes offer 5 total autos, while the Jumbo format boxes offer 9 autos. A full breakdown of the release will be available at Breakninja.com.

Matt’s Opinion: I’m not a football fan, but Leaf Metal is always a solid looking release. The Armed and Dangerous sets should be particularly popular, as will the TRItanium triple autos. Leaf cards don’t carry a huge value on the secondary market due to the lack of license, but still have a place in the hobby.
