Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing and Yao Ming 4 Glory quad-autograph manufacturer preview from 2025 Leaf Glory of the Game Basketball.

Shaquille O’Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing and Yao Ming share the official 4 Glory quad-autograph preview. Four pale signing panels stack beneath their photographs, giving each signature a full-width space. Bill Bradley, Patrick Ewing, Bernard King and Allan Houston appear together on checklist card 4G-1. Magic Johnson, Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper and James Worthy share 4G-4. Those are strong reasons to pay attention to 2025 Leaf Glory of the Game Basketball: the four signatures are organized around a basketball connection that exists beyond the card.

Leaf's 2026 release calendar places the 2025-labeled product in its 2026 lineup. The box configuration is four premium hits, with ten boxes per case. The product combines autographs, memorabilia and signed memorabilia rather than treating all four hits as an autograph guarantee.

Five different ways to build a quartet

The official checklist lists five 4 Glory combinations. Alongside the Bradley–Ewing–King–Houston and Johnson–Wilkes–Cooper–Worthy groups, collectors get Kevin Garnett, Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman and Elvin Hayes; Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Magic Johnson and Gary Payton; and Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing and Yao Ming.

The Iverson–Nash–Johnson–Payton card builds an especially appealing guard collection on one surface. The O'Neal–Mourning–Ewing–Yao combination shifts the subject to imposing centers. Those are different collecting ideas within the same four-autograph subset.

For these 4 Glory entries, Holo Silver is numbered to eight, followed by Holo Rainbow /7, Holo Dots Pattern /6, USA Flag Foil /5, Holo Platinum /3 and Holo Red /2. Holo Green and Holo Gold each have a one-copy designation. Those counts apply to this group of cards.

Charles Barkley and Kevin Garnett share the Classic Combos preview, marked 2/3. The horizontal card gives each player a photograph and a broad pale autograph area against its red surround. That two-player presentation offers a different scale from the four stacked signatures on 4 Glory.

The basketball selection extends beyond the quartets

Court Queens includes players such as Aaliyah Crump, Aneesah Morrow and Audi Crooks. Classic Combos, Retro Relic Signatures, Pages in History and The Franchise 4 provide other distinct checklist groups. The multi-signature combinations sit within a broader basketball product that also makes room for memorabilia.

Leaf advertises at least two autographs per case from a named group including Charles Barkley, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Julius Erving, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The 4 Glory checklist gives that star-led pitch a concrete shape: familiar basketball relationships, gathered four signatures at a time.
