2016 Leaf Greatest Hits Baseball card details
2016 Leaf Greatest Hits Baseball is similar to their Best Of line, only bigger. Similar to Best Of sets, it’s driven by repurchased cards. But instead of a box having just one, Greatest Hits has four. A fifth card features a new Cal Ripken Jr. autograph line that’s exclusive to the product.

The repurchased cards are a mix of eras and styles, however most would consider them all to be on the high-end side of the hobby. Autographs and premium memorabilia cards are joined by graded rookie cards and key vintage pieces.
The one-per-box Salute to the Ironman cards all have Ripken autographs and are done on Leaf Metal stock.
This is the company’s second Greatest Hits release. It follows 2015 Leaf Greatest Hits Basketball, which took a similar approach.
Each 2016 Leaf Greatest Hits Baseball case has two boxes.

Another product with 1 Ripken auto per box…well at least that means the price for his autographed cards will continue to drop.
