Celebrity Look Alikes on Tobacco Cards

[JustinofLoxley]

In this forum back in 2006 (I think), there was a discussion comparing famous people to athletes on pre-war sports cards. Ever since then, I've saved athlete images on cards that I thought resembled famous people. I think many of these are dead on, but some of these comparisons are subjective, but I used them anyway. I made this video primarily for the members of this forum, so I hope everybody enjoys this.

Awesome video ! Many images of TY Cobb and also T206 Herman Armbuster look like Eminem.

[Jaybird]

I always thought Griffith looked like Bill Nye (the science guy).

[wrapperguy]

I was trying to guess with whom you would match the celebrities and did not get one right. That was really well done! Thanks.

That was a really good video. Sometimes when I look at something I think to myself "well, there goes 3-4 minutes of wasted time that I will never get back".....After this video I was glad I watched it. Great music too!! Thanks again for sharing.

[JustinofLoxley]

Thanks everybody! Wonkaticket: I had forgotten about your submissions until I saw a repost of them. However, I didn't remember that you had already compared Bennett to Tommy Lee Jones. I wish I would have used some of those and a few other comparisons other people have recently shared as well. I already want to take some comparisons out of my video and replace them lol.

That was really great.

It made me think of two things.
1) If I had a few million and connections It would be cool to get replica unis and have some of those people duplicate the card picture.

2)If this was a science fiction movie this is about the point you'd be running from the immortals/illuminati/alien overlords......:)

That was a very nice video. On a separate non-tobacco card note, I always thought that the 1933 Goudey Charley Gehringer card portrait resembles John Cusak.

[Anthony S.]

I always thought that if Mathew Broderick and Pee Wee Herman were to collide at great speed, the resulting individual might look something like the Miller Huggins T206.

Kevin Tighe (the owner of the Double Deuce in Roadhouse) always reminded me of Earl Harrist...
