I don't think this counts as a celebrity in the background since it's another player but I found a list of basketball cards that feature Jordon in the background. https://clutchpoints.com/nba-cards-the-6-best-featuring-michael-jordan-in-the-background

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is in the background of an early Sidney Crosby card: https://straymonkey.com/sports/pat-sajak-is-on-a-sidney-crosby-hockey-card https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/58428/cid/3090288/2011-12-O-Pee-Chee-50-Sidney-Crosby

Looks like Diane Keaton between the shoes in this one too?

Can anyone tell me whether Francis Ford Coppola is the guy on the bottom left, front row in the light brown jacket? And the guy right behind him to the left for some reason looks like a CNBC anchor or reporter I vaguely recall -- I know he is someone, can anyone ID anyone in this pic in the stands?

Also, Spike Lee was #1 on my list, and that has been found. If anyone can find a card with Billy Crystal at a Clippers game, you will be the undisputed champion of this thread.

That is indeed Spike Lee in the orange hat.

One of the Knicks cards from a few years ago, Frank Ntilikina's I believe, has Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Hayes, who were both New York Rangers at the time, sitting in a front row seat.

-------------------------------

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

No Francis Ford Coppola has more hair than that guy does. My guess is no, that isn't him.
