Quick verdict
The key choice in sports memorabilia is often whether the collection calls for a player signature or a memorabilia-focused card-and whether basketball or baseball is the priority. The 2026 Leaf Art of Sport Diptych Purple Holo Allen Iverson Autograph Booklet #1/10 is the clearer pick for an Allen Iverson autograph and a booklet format. The 2021 Leaf Art of Sport Paint by Numbers Relics Ichiro Suzuki Bronze /30 suits an Ichiro Suzuki collection seeking a serial-numbered relic card.
The listed prices are separated by $31.22: the Iverson booklet is listed at $78.78, while the Ichiro relic card is listed at $110.00. Neither choice is a direct substitute for the other; the athlete, sport, and card focus point in different directions.

Where each card wins
Choose the Iverson booklet for an autograph-centered collection
The Allen Iverson card's main appeal is direct: it is autographed and presented as a Diptych Purple Holo booklet. Its #1/10 numbering gives the card a particularly tight stated run, while the parallel/variety designation and serial number make it a focused choice for collectors who enjoy numbered basketball cards. The booklet presentation also distinguishes it from a conventional single-card format.
Pick this direction when the signature matters more than a memorabilia component, or when Allen Iverson is the specific player you want represented. It is also the lower-listed-price choice in this comparison.
Choose the Ichiro relic for a baseball memorabilia angle
The Ichiro Suzuki card is built around a different collecting experience: a Paint by Numbers Relics card with a memorabilia feature, Bronze parallel, and /30 numbering. It names card number PBN-07 and uses a standard card size, making it a straightforward fit for collectors concentrating on Ichiro, baseball cards, or memorabilia-card themes.
Choose it when an unsigned relic card better matches the collection than an autograph booklet. Its listed MLB World Series event/tournament detail further places the card in a baseball-focused context rather than the basketball emphasis of the Iverson piece.
Product notes
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Diptych Purple Holo Allen Iverson Autograph Booklet #1/10
Go with the Iverson booklet if the collection is driven by signed player cards. The card is autographed, carries Leaf autograph authentication, and has a label or sticker autograph format. Its Diptych Purple Holo booklet design creates a notably different presentation from a standard card, and the #1/10 serial number gives it a concise numbered identity. Basketball collectors looking for an Allen Iverson piece with parallel/variety and serial-numbered features have a clear reason to prioritize this selection. The trade-off is that it is ungraded, and its appeal is inherently tied to a basketball autograph rather than a memorabilia relic. It is best for someone who specifically wants the Iverson signature and booklet format, not for a collector primarily seeking a baseball card or embedded memorabilia element.
2021 Leaf Art of Sport Paint by Numbers Relics Ichiro Suzuki Bronze /30
The Ichiro card makes the strongest case when a memorabilia-centered baseball collectible is the goal. It combines the Paint by Numbers Relics theme with a memorabilia feature, Bronze parallel designation, short-print status, and /30 serial numbering. Ichiro Suzuki collectors may also appreciate the named PBN-07 card number and standard card size, which give the card a conventional trading-card profile. The limitation is direct: it is not autographed, so it does not fill the same signed-card role as the Iverson booklet. It is also ungraded. Select this card for an Ichiro or baseball memorabilia collection where the relic element and Bronze /30 designation are more meaningful than an autograph.
Final choice by use case
Pick the Allen Iverson Autograph Booklet #1/10 for a signed basketball collectible with a booklet presentation. Pick the Ichiro Suzuki Bronze /30 Relics card for an unsigned baseball memorabilia card with a standard-card format. The better fit comes down to autograph versus relic, then Iverson basketball versus Ichiro baseball.
