Coming Soon:2025 Leaf Photographic

[hocasio2]

Can’t believe someone actually had the patience to make hundreds of listings for a group break of this.

[mjohnatgt]

Opened my Photographic packs from Blowout at $330 apiece.

1: Tony Blair, British Prime Minister 1997-2007.
2: Jason Robards, American Actor, died 2000. Emmy, Tony, and Academy Award winner
3: Bill Hicks, American Comedian, died 1994 at age 32. Looks like he's gained fame posthumously both for his edgy comedy and his song-writing.

As for the Polaroid packs (not used for Photographic card release), here are the results:
1: Joel Silverman (pianist): Has a face that seems familiar, but I don't see much about him online.
2: Steve Allen (comedian) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Allen Figure he could have been included in the Photographic release
3: Mike Lambert (reality TV star): From MTV's The Real World season five, set in Miami. Dated on back 5/4/96.
4: Neeme Jarvi (conductor): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neeme_J%C3%A4rvi
5: Rick Tocchet (NHL player and Coach): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Tocchet

Will update this thread when I get the other 5 signed Polaroids that Leaf did not frame for the official Photographic release.

The Tony Blair one is the only one I recognize. Although Idk about his collectibility outside of the UK.

Seems like you did well. I agree the Bill Hicks one was a good pull!

These “cards” look huge lol like when I went to concerts as a kid and they sold similar items with a frame around it outside the arena etc. if you’re a staunch card collector these would be weird. Is there toploaders for these?

^ You can get a Top Loader in any size.
You cannot get a penny sleeve in any size.

[WhacksPacks]

If any of you pull or see the Garth Brooks listed, please let me know. Thanks!
Finders fee if so

This is big. Do your research before you sell it. Ive seen simple signed index cards from him sell for a grand. Dont cheat yourself.

That’s the mistake I made. I bought some toploaders this size but they don’t fit because these are pretty thick cards. You probably need like a 130point 4x6 if they even make those.

Appreciate it. I got a very reasonable offer from a board member and accepted.

Understood, or move up to a 5x7 and just accept the extra margin space.

Anybody have any ideas on who this is, from one of the loose packs?

Was there anything written on the back? That's one thing I used to help ID some of mine.
Too bad the developing solution didn't work properly on that one.

Researching his shirt, "The Kirov" may refer to a prestigious ballet school in Washington DC. So it may be someone from the world of dance.

Ooh, fascinating! I will definitely look into that more. Thanks so much for the excellent research! Sadly, there is nothing on the back of the photo. I was wondering how you ID’d all of yours.

It looks like Rudolf Nureyev but the sig doesn’t match his.

I actually think this might be correct! I see a couple of his rushed and shortened signatures that look somewhat similar. Thanks for the help you two!

[HoggieHunches]

If anyone sees Dave Matthews pulled or listed, please let me know. Will pay a finders fee.

[glorbgorb]

I thumbed my nose at this when I heard about it. Just another dumb Leaf product. But since I know they really only obtained a collection and packaged it up it seems... better? As I am slowly moving away from cards, but still acknowledging I will always have that collecting gene, this one intrigues me for some reason.

[jdandns]

The photograph itself is a one of a kind original, and that it was signed by the autographer, in some cases as it was still developing, make it unique as a signed item a totally different sense. Genius idea to mount them into something small enough to still be considered a card and put them in blind packs.

Congrats above on pulling the Bill Hicks and to the person who bought it from him. That would've definitely been in my top 5 most wanted from this product.

On the contrary, considering the person's face is clear I think it looks pretty awesome.

Yeah, definitely one of the best hits seen so far.

[glorbgorb]

Hmm, I know who Bills Hicks was, but I had no idea he has such a following.

[bub838]

So.. can anyone identify? These are my two cheapies I bought.

[mjohnatgt]

Nothing on back?

1st image google lens seems to think looks like Harry Belafonte.

2nd image signature could possibly be Robert / Stuart / Stewart #26 if that helps. Or it could be way off. The '26' could be a capital U for the first letter of the last name?

A quick google , that doesnt look like Belafonte's signature though.
