2018-19 Leaf Pearl Multi-Sport Memorabilia Cards


Memorabilia cards take on a variety of themes in 2018-19 Leaf Pearl Multi-Sport. In even broader terms, most have multiple pieces of gear. And those that don’t have large patches or are otherwise unique in some way.

Legends of Sport kicks the 2018-19 Leaf Pearl Multi-Sport memorabilia off with either four or six stars. Magnificent Materials might be single-player cards but they come with eight swatches. Immortal Eight and Perfect 10 bring together lots of athletes. Perfect 10 also happen to be double-sided cards with memorabilia showing on both the front and back.

Pearls of History have buttons taken fro a pair of players’ jerseys. Sticking with two-players is Pearlescent Patch Dual.

Pearlescent Patch is one of the sets to have just one player. However, the swatch takes up a large portion of the card front, making for some recognizable pieces.


Letterman cards all use letters taken from nameplates of game-used jerseys.

Perhaps the biggest memorabilia cards in 2018-19 Leaf Pearl Multi-Sport are Magnum Opus. Things like logo patches and names taken from seams are reserved for this dual-player set.
