Choosing between these two sports memorabilia cards comes down to what you want the card to emphasize: Cal Ripken Jr.'s three-piece jersey presentation or Scottie Pippen's Purple parallel treatment and lower serial number. Both are original, sealed 2026 Leaf Art of Sport memorabilia cards, ungraded and not autographed, so the key decision is the player, card design, and numbering format.
Quick verdict
Pick the 2026 Leaf Art of Sport Work Of Art Cal Ripken Jr. Triple Jersey #19/25 SEALED when a triple jersey relic and the Work Of Art insert format are the priority. Its listed price is the higher of the pair, and it is numbered 19 of 25.
Pick the 2026 Leaf Art of Sport Virtuoso Purple #33 Scottie Pippen Jersey #7/10 SEALED when you prefer a Purple parallel and a card numbered 7 of 10. It is listed $24 lower than the Cal Ripken card. Neither card is autographed, and both are ungraded, original Leaf sports trading cards with memorabilia and serial numbering.

Where each card wins
Cal Ripken Jr. wins on multi-relic presentation. The Triple Jersey wording makes this the natural selection for a collector who wants three jersey elements tied to one card. The Work Of Art designation also gives it an insert identity rather than a parallel designation. Choose it when the relic layout matters more than having the lower-numbered print run.
Scottie Pippen wins on parallel identity and stated numbering. Purple is directly identified in the title, while Parallel/Variety is among its features. Its 7-of-10 numbering represents a smaller stated run than the Ripken card's 19-of-25 numbering. Choose it when a Purple Virtuoso card and the /10 format are the deciding details.
Product notes
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Work Of Art Cal Ripken Jr. Triple Jersey #19/25 SEALED
The Cal Ripken Jr. card is the better fit for a collector focused on a more layered memorabilia concept: it is described as a triple jersey relic and carries the Work Of Art insert designation. Numbered 19 of 25, it gives the card a clearly stated limited serial run while keeping the attention on the three-jersey presentation. This choice also stays squarely in baseball memorabilia, with Cal Ripken Jr. and Baseball both identified. The tradeoff is straightforward: it has the higher listed price in this matchup, and it is ungraded rather than graded. It is also not autographed, so its appeal rests on the player, insert format, and jersey relic configuration.
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Virtuoso Purple #33 Scottie Pippen Jersey #7/10 SEALED
The Scottie Pippen card suits shoppers drawn to a named color parallel with a concise jersey-memorabilia format. "Virtuoso Purple" and the Parallel/Variety feature give it a distinct card treatment, while the 7-of-10 serial number is a concrete focal point for collectors who prefer that numbering format. Its lower listed price also makes it the more economical of the two listed choices without moving away from original, sealed Leaf memorabilia. The limitation is that it presents a single Jersey rather than the Ripken card's Triple Jersey format. Like the Ripken card, it is ungraded and not autographed, so the Purple parallel, Pippen name, and /10 numbering carry the selection.
Final choice by use case
Choose Cal Ripken Jr. Triple Jersey #19/25 for a baseball-centered collection or when a three-jersey relic and Work Of Art insert are the main goals. Choose Scottie Pippen Virtuoso Purple #7/10 when you want the Purple parallel designation, a /10 serial number, and the lower listed price. For a collector who values memorabilia layout first, Ripken is the clearer match; for parallel-focused collecting and lower stated numbering, Pippen is the stronger fit.
