Thanks.

He doesn’t look anything like Brad Pitt.

Yes, but he also doesn't look anything like Tim Leiper.

I didn't scan my Tim Leiper, but here's a newer Leiper card (his grin is not as goofy but his batting stance is still the same):

I may have mentioned in an earlier thread that there was a period of about a year when I would purchase donuts for the whole floor on Fridays. People would gather in and around my office and someone would be honored for something they did during the week (say, a copy center guy who stayed late on some big project). That person sat in a visitor's chair in my office and donned the Toledo Mud Hen baseball cap.

Then, presented with the card set, he or she would pick the Mudhen of the Week. I had a cheap wooden plaque, maybe 8x10, with a plastic slide-in holder for the card and a little brass engraved plaque engraved "Mudhen of the Week."

After a few months we had to call the Tim Leiper Rule - which meant you couldn't pick Tim Leiper. His card looked like the kid from Deliverance, but with a bat and not a banjo.

I think I have the plaque in a box in the basement and will post a photo if I find it.
