With a price tag of just $225 per box, few baseball products offer more bang for your buck than 2019 Panini Leather and Lumber Baseball. While Panini's Leather and Lumber card designs have been used in a couple of insert sets over the last few years, 2019 Panini Leather and Lumber Baseball marks the first time it has been a full release since 2005. This time around, it’s a hits-heavy product with each hobby pack (four packs per box) averaging an autograph and a memorabilia card.
Each hobby box delivers four autograph cards, a matching number of relics, 15 inserts and a pair of numbered parallels.
