Leaf Drops 2026 National Redemption Checklist: Every Auto Numbered to 5 or Less
Leaf Trading Cards has revealed the full checklist for its 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention redemption program, launching at the show in Rosemont, Illinois.
What Happened
Leaf Trading Cards has announced the 2026 Leaf National Redemption program, set to launch at the 46th National Sports Collectors Convention running July 29–August 2 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The multi-sport set is built entirely around autographed cards, with every signature numbered to 5 or fewer copies. The confirmed checklist includes Anna Leigh Waters, CJ Carr, Emmitt Smith, Floyd Mayweather, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Larry Bird, Malachi Toney, and Phil Ivey. Redemptions are processed through Leaf's official redemption portal.
Why Collectors Should Care
National-exclusive Leaf redemption sets are among the most limited convention releases on the calendar — and numbering every auto to 5 or fewer copies puts this squarely in short-print, high-demand territory. The checklist is a genuine cross-sport mix: you've got an NBA legend in Larry Bird alongside a current superstar in Giannis, a pickleball phenom in Anna Leigh Waters, a football icon in Emmitt Smith, and a high-upside college prospect in CJ Carr. That diversity means multiple collector communities will be chasing the same small pool of cards simultaneously. If you're at the National, this is a must-visit stop. If you're not, watch the secondary market closely — convention-exclusive Leaf autos at /5 or lower have historically moved fast once the show floor opens.
