Wow - I can't believe you missed the one I picked up on eBay a while back!! Good for me! LOL.
Always trading for Barry Larkin. Also looking for Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins.
Will consider trading for other current/past Cincinnati Reds and Bengals.

This may sound like a stupid question, but these are actually printed on leather?
Or is there some other reason for them to be called that?
I've seen the wood set and you can see the wood grain, on these I don't see any leather grain beneath the picture.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Faux leather. They have the texture similar to baseball-type leather. Since my minis are double-sleeved, the texture is hard to see but it covers the whole area. Cheap scanners don't help either.
I don't think it's possible to print on real leather since it would fade out over time.

Thanks! That makes more sense. I was really confused how it would have been done otherwise.
Great collection and I hope you are able to complete your set.
