Wild Card Matte Metal Graffiti Hobby Anna Leigh Waters autograph-design preview

2026 Wild Card Matte Metal Graffiti trades clean metallic fields for dense painted walls, tags and bold player lettering. Anna Leigh Waters’ official Hobby preview uses pink stars and graffiti behind her portrait; Konnor Griffin’s True 1 of 1 preview puts his throwing pose in front of orange tags and a dark wall.

Wild Card lists Hobby in July 2026 and maintains a separate National checklist. Both entries have 80 subjects, with Messi, Mbappé, Yamal, Barry Sanders, Larry Bird, Nolan Ryan and Kevin McGonigle among the roster.

Hobby colors and illustrated chases

On Rainbow foil, Hobby base autographs run from Orange /5 through Purple and Green /4, Red and Blue /3, Pink and Silver /2, and Gold and Rainbow 1/1. The corresponding unsigned ladder starts Orange at /25 and reaches /5 for the two Rainbow entries.

The Hobby True 1 of 1 group has 13 lettered variants, a–m, on Rainbow foil. Wild Style, True Color Match, Streetlight and Kaleidoscope Artist Proof add their own art branches. The c variants in True Color Match and Streetlight are autograph-only, with a 46-player selection.

On-card dual autographs

Hobby’s duals use Subway, Brick, Gate and Concrete backgrounds, each an on-card autograph 1/1. Each also has a second foil version: Subway on Crystal Holo, Brick on Lava, Gate on Laser and Concrete on Island.

The pairings include Messi/Mbappé, Nolan Ryan/Pedro Martínez and Allen Iverson/Tyrese Maxey. The wall-based layouts give those shared-signature cards a setting consistent with the solo portraits.

National’s separate selection

The National checklist has its own base structure, with one-of-one autographs and numbered unsigned cards. Its chase groups include True 1 of 1, Artist Proofs, True Color Match and Wild Style Artist Proof cards on Rainbow foil.

Graffiti’s strongest feature is how it treats the player’s name and the surrounding artwork as part of the composition. Waters’ pink stars and Griffin’s orange wall have visibly different energy within the same release. The Hobby checklist, National checklist and release index identify the edition-specific groups.
