Never say Never: 2 box break of Leaf Draft

Bob Loblaw · Oct 22, 2014

Hell hath frozen over.

After being on an 5 year Leaf sabbatical, I figured what the hell. I wanted to try to pull an Aaron Nola or Matt Imhof card - since this is their first non-USA card (Imhof).

First box:

and...

These cards are nice.

Byron Buxton Superfractor 1/1
Francellis Montas Purple /25
Chris Betts PG Blue /25
Kyle Schwarber
Jake Stinett
Teoscar Hernandez
Derek Hill

Box #2 . . . another 1/1.

Kyle Tucker Printing Plate 1/1
Luis Ortiz
MATT IMHOF!
Mike Papi
Teoscar Hernandez Blue /50
Kyle Dean PG Blue /25
Daniel Reyes PG Purple /10

Nice stuff man, thanks for posting!

Next up, Lex and Clark go out for some Line Dancing...

could prob afford the red Sandberg auto now!

grats on the Buxton and I'm interested in the Montas if it's FS/FT.

They're nice cards... BUT...

1) They're going to drop tremendously when Chrome comes out in 6 weeks.
2) They look a lot like 2013 Metal.
3) I don't like the idea of putting the kid's signing bonus on the back. The back is for batting and pitching stats, not how much money the kid signed for. Or a QR code.

Jesus I hope Imhof goes on to have a great career and then get in the Hall of Fame.

Jeff,

Glad you had great boxes.... here is feedback to your thoughts....

1> Value: Leaf is an extreme value proposition.... we give you 7 autographs for what Topps charges you for 1-2 autos.... Of course they will sell cheaper!!!! BUT, dollar for dollar, your return on Leaf Metal will exceed Bowman Draft on a multi-case break level.

2> The cards have a vastly different design from 2014 vs. 2013. The design is exactly the same as football (which is by design).

3> The reason for listing the bonus is to add color to the quality of the prospect. Bonus size is often a direct correlation to quality of prospect (and often explains why a 2nd or third rounder is a more elite prospect than a 1st rounder)

Glad you called it a superfractor and not prismatic. I buy Leaf products but still find it sad that they had to flat out copy Topps' 1/1 instead of creating something unique and building their own image.

Or call it "Gold Small Engine Turn" fractor.
