The prop (baseball card) used must have been known in general to the casual audience.

T206 Wildfire Schulte (move: "Diminished Capacity")
1951 Bowman Willie Mays (ST: DS9 - ep."In The Cards")
1952 Topps Andy Pafko (movie: "Cop Out")
1962 Topps Roger Maris (ST:TNG - ep. "The Most Toys" - the card used belonged to Gene Roddenberry. I would LOVE to have that card.)

Joe Nuxhall rookie card is in an episode of Married with Children.

They briefly discuss and show a t206 Wagner in the accountant that Ben Affleck received as payment for a job.

The Mays in ds9 wasn't actually a real card, the back was blank. Kind of cool that it was part of a major story line though.

I remember an episode of family matters from when I was a kid and Urkel has a mint 52 Mantle he trades for something. I also remember him saying it was worth 25k at the time.

As far as iconic in general, I would bet that a decent amount of people would recognize a ‘54 aaron (it was in the sandlot), maybe a ‘33 Goudey Ruth, ‘89 UD ken Griffey jr, Jordan rookie, and maybe a Red Cobb because of those finds in the news. Also maybe a Baltimore news Ruth

As far as iconic to us collectors that no one else probably knows about, T210 joe Jackson, Cracker Jack Cobb, ‘33 Goudey Lajoie etc.

I was going to add that but I didn't know which episode it was. Jefferson just bent it right there - I cringe everytime I see that.

My fab 5:
1948 Leaf Ted Williams
1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig #37
1965 Topps Joe Namath
1953 Topps Mickey Mantle
1914-5 Cracker Jack Walter Johnson

How about the card of the Joe player, whose last name escapes me, beloved by Charley Brown from Peanuts.

OMG, that happened to me! And from that day on I only collected singles instead of taking a lottery chance at packs.
