2012 Leaf Living Legend Pete Rose Baseball Hobby Box
What are these options?
- Blaster Box
- The small retail box sold at stores like Walmart and Target, usually the cheapest full box on the shelf. Autographs are not guaranteed, but many blasters carry exclusive parallels you cannot pull from a hobby box.
- Cases
- The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.

Frequently asked
What makes this product so affordable for a Pete Rose autograph?
Leaf released this as a blaster-style product at under $50 per box with a guaranteed autograph or redemption in every box. Since it was offered at both hobby and retail, a ton of Rose autographs hit the market, which kept prices down compared to older, scarcer Rose auto products.
What's in every box?
You get 10 packs of 6 cards each (60 base cards total) plus one separate autograph pack. That pack contains either a Pete Rose autograph card or a redemption card for signed memorabilia like bats, jerseys, baseballs, or inscribed balls.
How many different Pete Rose cards are in the base set?
The set has 50 different Pete Rose cards, each celebrating different moments and eras of his career. Every card in the product features Rose.
What kind of redemption prizes are available?
Redemptions include a complete set of all 50 Pete Rose autograph cards, signed bats, jerseys, baseballs, and some rare baseballs inscribed with 'I'm sorry I bet on baseball.'
Why was this product released?
Pete Rose can't appear in modern MLB-licensed sets due to his lifetime ban from baseball. Leaf created this independent product to give collectors an affordable way to own Rose autographs and memorabilia outside the standard trading card ecosystem.
Is this a good value if I just want a Rose autograph?
Yes. At under $50 per box with a guaranteed autograph, it's one of the cheapest entry points to owning a Pete Rose signature. Individual autographs from this set typically sell for $30-$50 on the secondary market, so you're essentially getting the base cards for free.
