Harry Anderson
Ever since I saw Harry on Night Court and his special Hello Sucker I've been a fan.
I was fortunate to meet Harry at a TAOM convention, which led to my booking him to perform at our Dallas Magic Clubs annual banquet and then the TAOM convention in 2013, when I was President. We developed a friendship initially based on our mutual interest in the Jinx and the Magic Square.
This is Harry and me at the TAOM 2013 convention.
Over the years I was fortunate to purchase (and receive as gifts) several items related to Harry's career as an actor.

Night Court Props
Night Court Hat
At the TAOM convention in 2013, Harry gave me this hat that he wore during Night Court.
Night Court Tie
This is the first Night Court tie I got from Harry. I have three total in my collection. Two of them I purchased, with the proceeds going to Harry's charity Habitat for Humanity and one Harry gave me
The Amazing Harry Case
The Amazing Harry Case used by Harry in the flashback episode Crossroads (Part 1) when he told how he came to NY to be a magician, but when the talent agent died right after he had auditioned, he went on to become a judge. The photos are L: Harry, Me, Gene Anderson at TAOM 2013 and R: Harry at my house.

Leaf Pop Century
2011
Harry was included in the Leaf Pop Century Autograph card set identified as BA-HA1.
The top row shows 2 of the base set color printing plate cards (Cyan and Yellow) and a one of a kind sketch card by Kevin-John. The middle row shows # 3, 12 and 19 of the silver edition of 25 cards. The bottom row are general autograph cards. I don't know how many of them there were.
2012
2012 cards had the same identifier BA-HA1. The two cards shown are the blue # 2/3 and the magenta printing plate # 1/1.
The cards were printed in quantities of:
- Unknown number of base cards (not numbered)
- 25 or less silver cards
- 5 or less blue cards (I know 2012 had 3 blue cards)
- 1 gold card
I am looking for any of the printing plates or numbered cards.
