Coming Soon:2025 Leaf Photographic

[mjohnatgt]

Didn't see anyone in the movie cast or crew that matched; maybe one of the 25 artists from the Amistad exhibits. Looks like "Edridge Dontchat" or something to me.

From Copilot, who seems to have nailed it:

"That’s a fascinating photo you’ve shared, Brian. It captures Edwidge Danticat—an acclaimed Haitian-American author—standing in front of the Amistad: The First Decade and Beyond exhibit at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut. The exhibit ran from July to October 1998 and was organized by the Amistad Committee, which works to preserve and share the history of the Amistad revolt."

Google image search on that name I think it is her. Looks very similar.

Google image search with her name and signature is an exact match.

Nice. I wasn't too far off.

Sadly if he’s in the set Rob Reiner’s price just went up.

Someone got a Lorne Michaels SNL creator in the "unknowns/not famous enough" pack. (Seen on facebook)

Dang… that’s a great hit for the cheap packs!

[duwal]

it is pretty wild seeing some of the prices. Guess it might be more of a nostalgic or presentation factor but I'm seeing names like Judy Dench, Mike Krzyzewski and others where even now you can just email them to get their autograph

I'm still sitting on my sealed case. My brother opened his and did not do well as far as money goes, but got some cool stuff. Chuck Norris, Sheedy, Gordie Howe, Guy LaFLeur were the best ones I can remember.

Chuck norris is a good hit, I don't know the others lol.

Two hockey players and an actress. I think the auction prices process have been reasonable. For less than the cost of one box, I've bought a Sarandon, Eddie Robinson - Grambling Head Football Coach, and the Negro League trio.

People not knowing Gordie Howe, Bill Hicks etc is wild and I’m probably younger than some of these members lol Howe is literally “Mr Hockey” I thought even non hockey fans knew him.

We like hockey, but aren't active fans and didn't grow up with it and were happy with those two and are keeping them. Ally Sheedy was good too and obviously Norris. The other good hit I can remember now was Tom Hulce whom we both like a lot as an actor. Doug Williams and Emmylou Harris were two others.

Hey! You outbid me on two of those! Good grabs. The auction prices are reasonable. I overpaid on my case, clearly, but I'm not too bad considering how nice they present. Boxes and cases aren't readily available, either, so I may just hold longer.

And the single packs are still available...I guess because they had thousands of these photos?

Yeah, they only used 40% or so (3000/7500) for the actual boxed release. Although the ROI for the leftovers might be higher than the boxed cards. I just got the Hugh Jackman for under the cost of a box at auction.

Yeah Gordie Howe especially is awesome, he also passed six years before Lafleaur who has a lot of autos so having a Polaroid with Mr Hockey is probably pretty rare and awesome.

Emmylou is also a cool hit. Sheedy and Norris also cool although I personally believe Norris wouldn’t be what he is if not for the internet running with it the last decade or more lol actually a nice assortment of autos though from sports to music to entertainment

PHEW! Just won my Branagh for only $135. Feels good to get the one I wanted and not have to check every day anymore, or wonder if it's in someone else's PC, or in an unopened box etc. Got it quick and easy.

Also, my favorite movie of all time is RoboCop and I won a Nancy Allen the other day as well. Scored both for way less than the price of 1 box. Feelin good.

[mjohnatgt]

Nice pickup. I was bidding on the Branagh, but he's not one of my main targets. Glad you found it.

In case anyone was wondering (probably no one), this one is up to $600 with four days left. That means it will comfortably be the highest selling from this set thus far passing up Jay Z ($455), Bjork ($438) and John Madden ($400). Surprised others want this one as bad as I do!
