I asked that same question back in post #33.

With having both Macaulay Culkin and Joe Pesci this year, it would be amazing for a dual auto of them

You have to wonder if they went for Mr. Bushwacked himself, Daniel Stern and he said no, or they just could not find or contact him.

Leaf just jumps onto private signings, both Culkin and Pesci had them not too long ago. Stern did at least one I know of but it was a while back.

Between private signings, signed books and CDs it's pretty easy to guess who will be in future Pop Century sets.

Saw this as I was looking through IG stories of the National:

This is such a pet peeve of mine. These celebrities get paid well for these private signings and they can't even be bothered to sign their names. I'm tired of them signing with their initials. Millie Bobbie Brown being the most recent example of this practice. I guess with Stranger Things coming to an end, it becomes a money grab at this point.

glorbgorb · 07-26-2023, 06:42 PM

Yeah, that's a terrible excuse for a signature.

So that's a screenshot from the movie--do they have to license that from whatever studio made Home Alone?

AngusMacGyver · 07-26-2023, 07:32 PM

They haven't labeled "rookie" cards before, have they? Weird to start doing it over a decade in.

1st Bowman! *ahem* I mean 1st Leaf. Doesn't have the same ring.

Also, I took a closer look at the pic. It seems to be a "Circles" parallel without the gold vinyl? I wonder if it's a 1/1. I don't think I've ever seen Pop Century use that parallel in anything other than gold.

EDIT: looks closer to Panini's "scope" parallel design. I'm intrigued now.

glorbgorb · 07-26-2023, 09:27 PM

I'm sure it's to appeal to the sports crossovers. They went bonkers over Marvel PMGs, then Star Wars Chrome serial-numbered cards. Why not RCs as well?

PrinceVegeta · 07-26-2023, 11:51 PM

Great photo choice on the culkin, would rather see a photo of the Clint above

His signature is what it is. He's such a tough signer, I think people are happy for any kind of scribble.

And the photo doesn't appear to be a direct screenshot from the film. Probably purchased from a stock photo service, like Alamy. https://www.alamy.com/macaulay-culki...5&searchtype=0

MBB has always been a diva but has gotten much worse in the past few years. Now she has loads of restrictions and limits that a signing with her has to be painful.

Photos from Leafs Booth today

Nice! Thanks for the pics.
I wish they'd been at Comic-Con.

kakarot12 · 07-28-2023, 02:25 AM

Oh my….Vicki Lawrence?!?! Mama’s Family has always been one of my favorite shows. I’m definitely gonna need that. Also John Pankow….cousin Ira from Mad About You. If you couldn’t tell, I love 80’s and 90’s sitcoms.

She has autos in older Americana sets.

webjon · 07-28-2023, 12:16 PM

Thanks for sharing pictures!

The designs don't seem as obnoxious this year -- or maybe I'm just used to it.

I'd still strongly prefer a non-chrome base autograph.

The photo selection also seems to be better this year, and the autograph list is much better.

Definitely a few I'll be chasing.

majestik101 · 07-28-2023, 12:19 PM

Jessica Alba AND Salma Hayek? I'm a buyer.

no problem, set seems much better then years past with good photo choices.

webjon · 07-28-2023, 03:26 PM

The Andrew Garfield photograph looks strange -- like the Spider-Man costume with all the webbing removed.

Joshi City · 08-06-2023, 09:23 AM

Leaf announced these will be posted in their shop today, other websites have preorders around $230 to $240 a box so I assume they will have it listed for similar.

didn't seem that biased....some cases had 3 really good hits, and some had less...

however, there are a LOT of rappers, so I don't know how any of them sell.

There were a good amount of cut autos too(nothing notable), but Rev. Al was also in it
