Default Celebrity Look Alikes on Tobacco Cards

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.

Well done video. Several were spot on. Conan was a great exclamation point to the production.

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

Default really good

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.

Default Thanks Everybody!

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.

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.

Default I know it's not a tobacco card but I couldnt resist...

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