2022 Leaf Metal Wonderkid Autographs

The Verdict

Leaf Metal Soccer 2022 is the gold standard for unlicensed soccer autograph products — 4 on-card autos guaranteed per box, every card numbered /40 or less, and a checklist mixing legends (Pelé), current superstars (Haaland, Ronaldo, Mbappé), and academy chase (Garnacho, Bajcetic). At $349.95 a box you're paying premium, but the hit ratio and chromium card stock justify it for collectors hunting low-numbered autos you can't get elsewhere outside Topps Chrome UEFA. The Prismatic and Crystal parallel ladders culminate in Crystal Gold 1/1 and Circles Gold 1/1 — among the most chased Leaf singles in the hobby.

Full Review

Subset of the parent product. 2022 Leaf Metal Soccer (released September 9, 2022, $349.95 hobby box) is Leaf's flagship on-card autograph product for the year — and the format is uncompromising. Every box delivers exactly four autograph cards on chromium stock, and every single card is numbered /40 or less. There is no base set in the traditional sense; the entire product is signed cards.
