Demand Level
Moderate. Demand is driven by 'prospectors' following top amateur talent. Willits has high upside, but as an unlicensed (no MLB logos) card without an autograph, it appeals to a specific niche of collectors.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$3.00 - $8.00
Graded Value
PSA 9: $15-25, PSA 10: $40-60. Note: Grading costs likely exceed current market value for this specific non-auto parallel.
Comparable Sales
Raw base/silver versions of 2024 Leaf Metal prospects typically sell for $2-$7. Autographed versions of the same player sell in the $20-$40 range, which caps the value of this non-auto foil.
Description
This 2024 Leaf Metal Prospect Edition card features top high school standout Eli Willits in his 'Washington' state pride uniform. The card boasts a stunning silver foil 'Metal' finish with clear etched '25' and 'Prospect Edition' logos. Willits is depicted in a dynamic batting stance against a clean, modern geometric background.
Key Features
Features highly-regarded 2026/2027 MLB Draft prospect Eli Willits. Part of the popular Leaf Metal series known for high-quality production and shiny chromium-style finishes. Includes 'State Pride' branding.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. Features Leaf's signature 'Metal' etching tech and high-fidelity printing. Leaf prospect cards of this tier are rarely counterfeited due to low cost-to-reproduce incentive.
Flaws to Note
Potential minor whitening on the bottom-left corner. Surface may have microscopic 'refractor' scratches common with metal-stock cards. Centering is slightly favored toward the right but within 60/40 tolerance.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for high-velocity sales. Specialized Facebook groups for Leaf or Prospect collectors are also viable to avoid high fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10 for a personal collection; the ROI for a PSA 9 or lower is negative after grading fees. Use keywords like '2026 Draft', 'Oklahoma Commit', and 'Shortstop' to attract prospectors.
