2017 Leaf Valiant Football Checklist and Details

After taking a couple of years off, Valiant is back on the gridiron. 2017 Leaf Valiant Football sticks with the colorful designs and all-autograph structure used in the past but the configuration has one notable change. In addition to three regular autographs, each box also comes with a BGS-graded card that’s a 9.5 or better.

Each 2017 Leaf Valiant Football box has four total cards, all of which are signed. The checklist highlights 2017 rookies slated to make their pro debuts.

Base cards have more intricate backgrounds than the comparable 2017 Leaf Metal Draft. This goes back to the brand’s beginnings. Even then, the brand was originally inspired by the Crusades inserts that remain popular in late-1990s Donruss products. The regal marks have since been phased out, but there’s still lots of color plus several levels of parallels.

In addition to the base autographs are a handful of themed inserts such as Field Generals, TD Machines, Big Targets, Speed Kills and Tenacious “D” (which focus on defensive players, not Jack Black and Kyle Gass).

The BGS-graded card in each box of 2017 Leaf Valiant Football is at least Gem-Mint. BGS 10 and BGS 10 Black Label cards may also be included.

2017 Leaf Valiant Football Pre-Production Proofs

2017 Leaf Valiant Football Pre-Production Proofs were sold separately from the main line. These cards are all one-of-ones and used during production. However, they are not autographs.

Each 2017 Leaf Valiant Pre-Production Proofs box has three cards slabbed by BGS.

The print run is limited to 399 boxes.
