2026 Leaf Metal St. Patrick’s Day: Jokić, McGregor and Two Irish-Inspired Frames

Nikola Jokić's autograph sits beneath a frame of shamrocks and Celtic-style knotwork. Conor McGregor's preview shows him draped in an Ireland flag, with an illustrated holiday scene around the photograph. 2026 Leaf Metal St. Patrick's Day gives both signatures a seasonal setting that is plainly visible on the card.

Leaf's calendar places the release in February 2026, ahead of the March holiday. It is a distinct Metal issue with its own St. Patrick's Day designs.

Jokić's frame does the seasonal work

The Jokić card uses a recognizable basketball portrait, then builds the holiday treatment around it. Green ornamental details and shamrocks carry the theme without obscuring the player's face. The pale autograph panel remains visually separate from the busier frame.

That gives a Jokić autograph collection a specific variation in mood. The sporting subject remains the player, while the surround supplies the calendar connection. It is the combination of the portrait, signature and Irish-inspired ornament that makes this card identifiable within Leaf's broader Metal lineup.

McGregor brings the flag into the photograph

McGregor's Ireland flag is part of the player image, so the national colors connect directly with the subject as well as the frame. The small illustrated figure in the background pushes this preview further toward a playful holiday scene than the knotwork-led Jokić card.

The signature still has its own light-colored area. That is an effective division on a card with a vivid flag and decorative background: the ink remains a separate focal point even when the holiday setting is busy.

The official checklist adds 4 Leaf Clover autographs. Allen Iverson's Prismatic entry is Silver /10, Orange /4, Green /3, Red /2 and Gold /1. The Base Auto sheet uses holiday-specific variation names including Leprechaun, Kilt Pattern, Shamrock, Pots & Rainbow and Mash-up, giving the theme a place in the checklist as well as the artwork.
