2026 Leaf Baseball Nation

Leaf Trading Cards, which was founded in 2010, operates as a private entity in Dallas, Texas. It should not be confused with the former Leaf brand that was under Donruss ownership.



The product features an initial base set consisting of 183 cards, with each player on the checklist also having autographed editions. While there aren't many Cubs represented in this collection, there is potential for a future superstar in Josiah Hartshorn.

A fascinating addition is the Retro theme Baseball Discs. These cards mimic the discs that were included in various food items during 1976 and 1977.

2026 Donruss Cubs Style!

The main focus for the Donruss flagship set continues to be retired greats and minor league prospects, giving Panini a wider crop of players to choose from due its licensing constraints with MLB and the MLBPA. Collectors will need 200 cards to complete a base set, and each of those cards will have a wide range of parallels.
