The legacy of Leaf

Leaf is a weird minor player in the card world now after the brand name was bought just over a decade ago, but back when Leaf was part of DonRuss there were lots of Leaf sets released. Some of them are still very nice, like this one from a quarter century ago.

Card Number 1032: Leaf Legacy, 1997; #356

The aesthetically pleasing shield motif on the front makes up for the photo where Tony's face is obscured. This could almost be an unlicensed card because of the very small amount of franchise logos on show. 

The cardback provides a great snapshot of Tony's career in the middle of the late nineties. The stats among active players are great records of where Tony stood with regard to his peers. These in-career stats are important career markers that don't often get mentioned on cardbacks. 

There's also a photo of Tony jogging in his fielding gear on the back juxtaposed with the write up about his batting average and hit total. 

Total: 1032 cards
