The Basics: There will be at least three and sometimes four autos per case from these names -- Bobby Witt Jr., Jesus Made, Konnor Griffin, Nolan Ryan, Dexter McCleon Jr., Travis Bazzana and potential No. 1 pick Roch Cholowsky. Atop that, there will be at least three and sometimes four multi-signed cards per case, too. Meanwhile, some memorabilia cards will be found for Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and others. Battle Worn will be one of the sets on that front. ... Among the inked sets are base autos, A Glimpse Into The Future, Top 10 Draft History, Prospect Relics, Time Machines, Duochrome, Due Up, Three For All, Tetrad and The Eight. ... And, with an extra twist, jumbo boxes will include some surprise autos from beyond baseball in the Optichrome Combat and Glow auto sets. ... The full checklists as released by Leaf are listed below.
