Default Leaf Valiant vs Leaf Flash or neither?

Hi - Appreciate ya'll thoughts on whether it's worth it to buy Jasson Dominguez cards on Leaf Valiant or Leaf Flash or neither? I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to Bowman Chrome as I think it's priced way to high and will come down a bit later. Thanks!

If you get lucky enough to land him with Leaf, I would sell and invest into maybe buying an ungraded Bowman 1st on eBay, or invest the profits from the Leaf and buy boxes in search of the Bowman 1st.

If you think his Bowman is overpriced and will come down, is there a reason why you don't think Leaf will do the same thing?

I can still remember when you were brand new at this and asking everyone else for advice. It's amazing how far you've come.

Good points everyone. What about Leaf Trinity? I've always liked their mega patches and autos. Thanks.

That should be good enough of a reason for you to buy then.

If you like it buy it. But don’t be surprised if you try to sell it if someone else don’t like it.

Also know most of leaf patches are put on one single jersey that’s not game used and they put it on the player for a half of a second.

Leaf is doing well with football. Eventually baseball collectors with enjoy them more.

I suspect all the leaf hate is coming from paid Topps influencers.

Leaf flash is a good affordable auto of jasson

I have been a sucker for Onyx boxes lately.
Have opened a dozen boxes and have hit Dominguez, Witt, Pauson & Wander (×2)
The cards are on nice stock, look good and autos are on card.
Obviously not licensed like Leaf, but can be had at 1/5th the price or lower.

I have this bad boy and let me tell you it looks even better in person 4/10. I guess not having the license drives the old school guys away. But me being new, in 10-15 years this card will probably be one of my favs.

They said the same thing when leaf was called razor and was a failure many years ago now. But if you like it then mission accomplished

on a side note, I picked up some leaf valiant autos of Tatis, Acuna and Soto because honestly the cards look amazing in hand and I simply wanted some cheap on card autos of them. didn't care if they were licensed or not.

Leaf cards are definitely awesome for guys you pc, I picked up a joey bart auto for super cheap.

It's shiny, looks great, and probably the only way I could get an auto of bart at a reasonable price.

So if your buying to try and flip to make money, you are probably going to be disappointed.

The top and bottom right corners are both horribly mangled on that bad boy.

If you want to just have A Jasson Dominguez auto...then go for it.

If you wan to just have A Jasson Dominugez auto and want to make some solid money if/when he becomes a superstar...save your money and buy the Bowman stuff!
