Gray is no longer affiliated with Leaf. He stepped down like 6 months ago.

He's still involved, albeit to a much lesser degree. But he's still selling Leaf products on Whatnot. You saw the Santa stuff, right?

he's probably selling whatever he had in his garage. he's no longer involved with Leaf in any capacity

Yeah, I thought he posted one of those "Leaving immediately" things a few months back. The fact a) Brian Gray is still hawking Leaf products; b) on WhatNot, knocks Leaf down even further in my opinion. Not they they were ever high in the first place. (They need to stick with celebrities and get out of hockey at this point.)

Whoever came up with this model for Pop Century messed up badly. Very few of these are selling. I assume they end up in repacks or next year's pop century. $99 per card without a weekly chase is crazy.

Week 4 remaining: 390/425
week 3 remaining: 355/425
week 2 remaining: 353/425
week 1 remaining: 242/425 (some idiots like me bought before reading)

Best fact: They spelled it John Tavolta on their sell page on their site. Do better, Leaf.

They put out cards of Gray dressed as Santa that (I assume) he signed after he "left". He may not be involved in their day-to-day, but I'm having a hard time believing he's out 100% when he's still pushing their products. He even said on Twitter last week he's the one who signed The Rock for their recent set.

I have no knowledge of either point, but were they sticker autos? (smart-@%% question, I know!). As for Rock, something like that doesn't happen overnight. That has probably been in the works for months if not years.

I like the names this week….for $50. At $99 it’s a loss on all 5

[glorbgorb]

I wonder if the Neil DeGrasse Tyson autos are from the same pool of stickers as the 2023 Influencers set he was in. I haven't seen one that didn't run off the sticker.

And a cheaper alternative to UD Marvel autos for Colby Smulders is welcome.

from this list there are maybe 5 total cards which are selling/worth more than purchase price or higher. I saw a Nutsa sell for I believe under $15 the other day, at least it was around that when I took it off my watch list. You can get a lot of these under the regular Leaf Pop years or other brands over the years for much less. There is a regular Pop Denise Richards listed for like $25 and it hasn't sold in weeks. Ryan Phillippe regularly goes for about $15 or less. If these were $30-$50 instead of $100, the attraction would be much better.

Week #1 - 2/12
Zoe Saldana, Hailee Steinfeld, Jason Isaacs, Michael Biehn, and Nutsa Buzakadze

Week #2 - 2/19
Paul Bettany, Kit Harrington, Peter Billingsley, Mira Sorvino, Julian Glover

Week #3 - 2/26
Lil Durk, Hayley Atwell, John Travolta, Ron Howard, Sam Jones

Week #4 - 3/4
Patrick Stewart, Lou Ferrigno, Rich the Kid, Traci Bingham, Ryan Phillippe

Week #5 - 3/11
Lil Baby, Denise Richards, Kristen Bell, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Colby Smulders

Makes you wonder how many more they would sell at a better price point than they're doing now? At $50 I imagine they'd sell out every week.

How long before Gray is dumping these on Whatnot?

Just saw one of the Patrick stewart autos, and they're rough

I think he has serious arthritis. I’m pretty sure his Star Trek: Picard auto cards are oversized to make them easier for him to sign.

Leaf has good ideas and bad ideas but I am shocked no one there has looked at this after five weeks and not realized this product goes under "bad idea." It needs some serious tweaks to work, they are being way too stubborn with the concept.

[aggie4ever]

Updated with this week's cards.

I actually think this was a decent idea and concept by Leaf, it's just priced way too high.

[robomole]

I actually think of all the weeks, this one brings the most value across the 5 cards combined.

[duwal]

the fear is having the bad luck and pulling a rapper

Honestly think though there are some good names in each week but the background is so gaudy and for me I am not liking the pics chosen but I get that they don't have the rights to have their character images

[dd316]

Somebody on the NSU boards said this is the last week to buy directly from Leaf. Wonder if that means the program is dead or if someone else is going to solicit them?

[xposipx]

You can generally just buy the one you want for basically the same price or less. Makes no sense to gamble at all any week so far.

[gdelan1]

Grabbed a Ryan Phillipe /25 for 12.99

This is the first week where a new lineup was not made available for sale. Maybe they took a week off or maybe it's dead.

[glorbgorb]

Weren't these all supposed to have the same print run? I just saw the Cobie Smulders were /49s (with the 1/1 out there already). Unfortunately sellers are pricing them as if they were /9s.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like base/Red are /49, Blue are /25, Black are /10, and Golds are 1/1.

Did this sell out every week? What are the chances all 49 of hers got out of a Leaf box?

You can still buy week 1's packs on their website... I don't think it's been as popular as they had hoped.

Week 7 however is out, I didn't get an email about it but I see it on their site:

That was last weeks offerings. Today should have been week 8.
