2026 Leaf Metal Women of Sport returns as an all-women multi-sport release that leans hard into low-numbered cards, autograph volume, and broad athlete representation. The product pulls together stars and prospects from basketball, hockey, soccer, gymnastics, track and field, softball, combat sports, golf, and more, giving collectors one of the hobby’s most wide-ranging women’s sports checklists of the year.
Every hobby box delivers eight total cards, broken down into four autographs and four base cards or inserts. Leaf is also keeping scarcity front and center. According to the product details, all base cards and inserts are numbered to 10 copies or fewer, with several concepts built around one-of-one production.
Release date for 2026 Leaf Metal Women of Sport is September 4, 2026.
2026 Leaf Metal Women of Sport at a glance
- Configuration: 8 cards per pack, 1 pack per hobby box, 10 boxes per case
- Hobby box hits: 4 autographs and 4 base cards or inserts
- Base set size: 127 cards
- Release date: September 4, 2026
This is a checklist-driven product, but the headline is simple. It is loaded with ink, nearly everything is short printed, and several themed insert lines have matching autograph versions. That creates a product where collectors can chase player collections, themed subsets, or ultra-rare one-of-one builds.
Checklist overview and card design structure
The main base set has 127 cards. Each base card has 32 total versions, and half of those versions are 1/1s. Only four versions of each base card have print runs higher than five copies. That means even standard base cards carry a premium-level scarcity profile compared to most modern products.
Base Autographs mirror the same player selection and go even deeper. Each signer has 22 autograph versions, including 14 different 1/1 parallels.
Beyond the main set, Leaf built several themed concepts with both unsigned and signed counterparts:
- 1950 Leaf
- Force Of Nature
- Hear Me Roar
- Right On Track
- Slay
- Stainless
The die-cut Queens line also appears in both autograph and non-autograph form, split across three sports-specific concepts:
- Court Queens for basketball
- Hit Queens for combat sports
- Ice Queens for hockey
One of the most distinctive parts of the product is Greek Goddess. The insert checklist covers 125 athletes, and the autograph version also covers 125 athletes. Every card in the Greek Goddess concept is a 1/1, with variations tied to foil treatments and different goddesses pictured on-card. The named goddesses include Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Hestia, Iris, Nike, Persephone, and Selene.
Another notable chase is Liquid Fire, a 127-card autograph lineup with five different 1/1 versions for each athlete in a die-cut format.
Collectors chasing multi-signed cards also have several options, including Dazzling Duos, Trios, The 4 Sportswomen, Hexad, and Octet.
Key athletes on the 2026 checklist
The release mixes established names, crossover personalities, and next-wave talent. Some of the most recognizable names in the product include Cameron Brink, Azzi Fudd, Diana Taurasi, Cynthia Cooper, Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Dunne, Hope Solo, Erin Andrews, Hailey Van Lith, Georgia Amoore, Lauren Betts, Gabriela Jaquez, Toby Fournier, Toni Breidinger, Jeanette Lee, Tonya Harding, Mo’ne Davis, Becky Hammon, Michelle Waterson-Gomez, and Angela Ruggiero.
That mix matters because it gives the product more than one audience. Basketball collectors have plenty to chase, hockey collectors have targeted content through Ice Queens and related signers, and multi-sport collectors get one of the more varied women’s checklists released this year.

The base set is listed at 127 cards, with card number 21 not used. The published checklist runs from card 1 through card 128 with that single gap.

Collector notes
For player collectors, the product offers multiple parallel roads without requiring a massive base-card print run. For set builders, the challenge is less about volume and more about tracking down extremely limited versions. For autograph chasers, four signed cards per hobby box gives this release a strong hit profile, especially when combined with concepts like Greek Goddess, Liquid Fire, and the multi-signed subsets.
The biggest practical detail may be the numbering structure. With base cards and inserts capped at /10 or lower, and with heavy use of one-of-one variations, even non-autograph cards should not feel like filler. That low-print approach gives 2026 Leaf Metal Women of Sport a premium checklist identity that fits the growing demand around women’s sports cards and prospect-driven multi-sport products.
