It’s an awful set. This year is fine, because they have a license. But even companies that don’t have licenses aren’t this bad

That was such a nice baseball design too. But this looks like an AI copied it.

Topps should be sued for what they did to last year’s basketball cards.
This Jalen Brunson is embarrassingly awful.

Thank you. I will also look into using research funds for this truly odd set.

I was sent down the rabbit hole by @lukeknox.me via you and this card alone has turned my day around

Oh god you can get a Bret Hart card with Garfield, McKinley, or JFK.

The only one that kind of makes sense is Deontay Wilder and Obama

That’s why to go get an Audi Crooks 1/1 auto with Grover Cleveland on the card.

You sure it's not just a sick player and a sick president?

I imagine the connection comes from how William Henry Harrison was also nicknamed the Human Highlight Film by the WH press corps during his brief tenure.

I might have the connection. WHH was the 9th president and some moron gave Nique a 9 in that one dunk contest.

You can get Leaf auto cards a bit cheaper, because they don’t have a license. So the team name airbrushed away looks bad.
But other than that, you can get an Audi Crooks 1/1 auto card with Grover Cleveland.
I love how these make no sense.

2026 Leaf Metal Presidents' Day - Multi-Sport Card Checklist - Checklistcenter.com 2026 Leaf Metal Presidents' Day is a multi-sport release themed around the 47 US presidents, as well as landmarks and founding documents.

Had to Google this to figure out what's going on. Apparently Leaf does a "President's Day Box Set" with seemingly random combinations of athlete/president.

It’s so random, it doesn’t make sense.

As a historian, I have to get this, right?
I feel it even qualifies for R&D money.
A 1/1 Dominique auto with William Henry Harrison in the background makes no sense unless the history gods, the basketball gods, and the card gods came together to give me a gift.

I need a grant for 25 ps5s and 25 copies of the game, so I can gamify it.
