2026 Leaf Autograph Collection Football: Drew Brees, Barry Sanders and White Party Exclusives

Drew Brees stands in front of a rush of green and purple binary digits. Barry Sanders gets stars, fireworks and a large America 250 emblem. 2026 Leaf Autograph Collection Football opens with two very different autograph designs, both built around a large player photograph and an unmistakable signing panel.

The September 2026 release introduces a new title to Leaf's football lineup. Hobby boxes contain four autographs, with ten boxes per case. Jumbo is a separate format with an exclusive White Party autograph program and eight-box cases.

The designs take different routes

Brees's Autographed Intelligence preview wraps the action photograph in a digital motif, with oversized lettering at the top and his blue autograph below. The background gives the design its identity while the player remains easy to find in the center.

Sanders's horizontal America 250 card has room for both the patriotic emblem and the running photograph. The signature occupies a wide lower band. Compared with the tall Brees card, it changes the proportions as well as the theme, giving a player collection two substantially different kinds of presentation to pursue.

Leaf also advertises Pixel Stretch and Combo Collection dual autographs. The first adds a pixel-based design direction; the second makes the signer combination the defining feature. Both sit within a release produced using Leaf's metal technology.

White Party belongs to Jumbo

White Party and White Party Legends autographs are exclusive to Jumbo boxes and cases. That is the useful format distinction for collectors following those designs. The product's two box types cannot be treated as interchangeable when the desired autograph group is tied to one of them.

The advertised roster ranges from Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Roger Staubach to CJ Carr, Dante Moore, LaNorris Sellers and Malachi Toney. It also includes Nick Saban.
