1988 movie "RAIN MAN"....with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.
There are several scenes of Hoffman with his BB card collection (1950's cards). Hoffman portrays the long lost (autistic savant) brother of Cruise.
In the 1990's I was set-up at a small BB card show in Robbinsville, NJ. A fellow named Pete came to my table looking for Thurman Munson cards.
He amazed me. First by telling me I was a Yankees fan......then, by perfectly reciting the bio on the back of the 1971 Thurman Munson card from
memory. I continued talking with Pete, and I was stunned with his unbelievable ability to recall events and BB related things.
Later, I found out that this fellow Pete was one of the guys that Dustin Hoffman consulted with for his performance for the Rain Man movie.
The Princeton (NJ) newspaper had a write-up profiling autistic savant people who lived in the area, and Pete was one of them.
