The quick decision
Choosing sports memorabilia in this group comes down to more than picking a favorite athlete. The Allen Iverson choices split between a patch auto and an autograph booklet, Nolan Ryan brings the baseball-focused Arts & Graphs option, and Magic Johnson is the Red patch autograph with the smallest stated edition. The listed-price spread is $71.00, so deciding how much the player and format matter is the useful starting point.
All four are ungraded sports trading cards with Leaf autograph authentication and label-or-sticker autograph format. From there, the clearest separators are the named player, the patch or booklet presentation, and serial numbering.

- Choose for a Nolan Ryan or Angels collection: The Nolan Ryan Arts & Graphs Patch Auto is the baseball-centered selection and carries a /15 designation.

Product notes
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Arts & Graphs - Allen Iverson #ed/25 Patch Auto
This is the straightforward pick for an Allen Iverson collector who wants the Arts & Graphs insert with a named patch auto format. Its standard card size, 55 Pt. thickness, memorabilia feature, and individually serial-numbered /25 edition make it a conventional card-format alternative to the Iverson booklet. At USD 95.00, it sits between the lower-priced Iverson booklet and the two higher-priced choices. The tradeoff is the stated /25 run: it is a larger edition than the /15 Nolan Ryan, #1/10 Iverson booklet, and #2/3 Magic Johnson card.
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Nolan Ryan Arts & Graphs Patch Auto /15 Angels HOF SSP
Pick the Nolan Ryan Arts & Graphs Patch Auto when the collection focus is baseball, Nolan Ryan, or the Angels connection named in the title. Like the Iverson patch card, it is a standard-size, 55 Pt. Arts & Graphs card with memorabilia and serial numbering, while the /15 designation gives it a more limited stated run than the Iverson /25. Its listed price is USD 125.00. The limitation is that its /15 count is still a broader stated edition than the #1/10 Iverson booklet and Magic Johnson #2/3, while the player focus is specific to baseball rather than basketball.
2026 Art of Sport Arts & Graphs Red Magic Johnson Patch Autograph #2/3 SEALED
The Magic Johnson Red Patch Autograph is for collectors who want Magic Johnson specifically and place the greatest emphasis on the smallest stated edition in this group. Numbered #2/3, it combines a Red parallel/variety designation, memorabilia patch, serial numbering, and an autograph in a basketball card format. The title also identifies it as sealed. At USD 149.78, it is the highest listed-price option, which is its clearest limitation when player preference is flexible. It makes the most sense when the Red variation and #2/3 numbering matter more than choosing the lowest-priced autograph.
2026 Leaf Art of Sport Diptych Purple Holo Allen Iverson Autograph Booklet #1/10
The Diptych Purple Holo Allen Iverson Autograph Booklet is the choice for an Iverson collector drawn to a booklet presentation and a #1/10 serial number. It is an original Leaf basketball trading card with a Purple Holo parallel/variety design and serial-numbered autograph. At USD 78.78, it has the lowest listed price among the four while also carrying a tighter stated edition than the /25 Iverson patch card and /15 Nolan Ryan card. Its limitation is format preference: this listing centers on an autograph booklet, so a patch-focused collection is better matched to one of the three named patch offerings.
Final recommendation by use case
Start with the Allen Iverson Diptych Purple Holo Autograph Booklet #1/10 for the lowest listed price and a numbered Iverson booklet. Choose the Allen Iverson Arts & Graphs Patch Auto if an Iverson patch card is the priority. The Nolan Ryan Arts & Graphs Patch Auto /15 is the natural fit for Nolan Ryan or Angels collecting. Select the Magic Johnson Red Patch Autograph #2/3 SEALED when Magic Johnson, the Red variation, and the smallest stated edition are the deciding factors.
