2026 Leaf Optichrome Football Checklist Overview
The product starts with an expansive, 250-card base set and matching autographed versions.
Base Autographs also have special emoji-based parallels — Music (/10 or fewer), Have A Nice Day (/7 or fewer), Snow Day (/5 or fewer), and Peace (/2 or fewer).
From there, Optichrome branches out into several inserts, which likewise include signed and unsigned cards.
Enduring Legacy is a new set focused on some of the greats of the game and loaded with almost 80 players, including numerous Hall of Famers.
Another debut concept is College Town, horizontal issues with a classic illustration of a college campus in the background.
Collectors will also find Bring The Smoke and Raise The Bar inserts and autographs.
Battle Worn is a returning relic set that features 41 retried standouts, as well as current Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Ravens running back Derrick Henry.
Time Machines add multiple jersey swatches and a signature. There are 14 legends on the checklist.
Multi-signed sets include:
- DuoChrome
