New Sports Card Releases - Week of 2/13/12
The new release calendar has just two new sets this week. 2011 Leaf Legends of Sport is an all-autograph multi-sport product featuring lots of big-time signatures. From a galaxy far, far away comes 2012 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 7, the latest series of the hugely popular art line that debuted nearly 20 years ago. As always, sketch cards and a gorgeous base set are the draws.
2011 Leaf Legends of Sport
With 2011 Leaf Legends of Sport, the card maker has reached out to several big-name and tough signers. Collectors can look for autographs from Leaf regulars Ichiro and Pete Rose, as well as Mike Piazza, Nolan Ryan, Mike Tyson, Alistar Overeem, Rafael Palmeiro and Charlie Sheen. This is an all-autograph release with three cards per single-pack box.
2012 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 7
When the Star Wars Galaxy line debuted in 1993, it instantly became a hobby favorite. With its focus on many different styles and artistic interpretations, 2012 Topps Star Wars Galaxy 7 remains as fresh as ever. Hobby boxes promise at least one sketch card. Artists usually go all-out with this set, resulting in some truly marvelous masterpieces.

Wish Panini could get licensed to use the logos. I'm a team collector and will not buy any Panini products until they do. Topps needs some competition!!! I love the Panini basketball and football products. Topps is starting to feel "old" and "tired". Nothing new, auto checklists are all the same...How many Kaline autos do I want?
