Wild Card Matte Metal Multi-Sport Aaron Rodgers base autograph-design preview

2026 Wild Card Matte Metal Multi-Sport makes a wide roster work through a relatively spare portrait design. Aaron Rodgers’ base preview uses a dark metallic field, fine vertical rules and a large translucent white autograph area. Aroldis Chapman’s Premium Base preview introduces a more colorful blue surround without crowding the pitching image.

Wild Card lists the collection in February 2026, with 99 subjects. The roster spans Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Stephen Curry, Larry Bird, Nolan Ryan, Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.

Five core metal colors

The Base ladder is Black Chrome 1/1, Champagne Gold /2, Gunmetal /3, Brushed Silver /5 and White Chrome /10. Auto Base appears on Brite Gold and Rainbow foil boards, while unsigned Base uses Rainbow.

Premium Base broadens the color vocabulary considerably. Its 15 signed and unsigned one-of-one parallels include Tiger’s Eye, Ruby Geode, Pearlescent, Malachite Silver and Turquoise Emerald. The separate True 1 of 1 Premium Base group adds Citrine, Cracked Pewter, Diamond Silver, Emerald Gold and Platinum Gold.

Artist Proofs and color matching

Artist Proofs move into five artistic styles: Pop Art, Da Vinci Sketchbook, Engraved Gold, Paint Brush and Pop Art Splatter. Signed and unsigned versions are True 1/1s on Rainbow foil. True Color Match is its own signed and unsigned one-of-one family.

Those branches give the restrained base portrait a useful counterpoint. A collector can stay with a subtle metallic finish or follow the same subject into a much more overtly artistic treatment.

Dual and triple signatures

The checklist includes Auto Dual and Auto Triple cards, each with a separate True Color Match branch. Auto Triple has eight True 1/1 color treatments, including Turquoise Emerald, Pearlescent, Ruby Brass and Platinum Gold. Its True Color Match counterpart is listed on Rainbow-F foil.

That multi-signature content sits alongside the release’s broad cross-sport subject list and unusually specific metal colors. The manufacturer checklist separates the families and parallel names; Wild Card’s 2026 index records the February release grouping.
