Classic movies and cards
This may have been done before ... many times possibly ....
But are there any vintage movies where a highly desirable baseball card is visible or even discussed? Not talking about a movie from the 60s or 70s or a modern era flick. But something from the 20s, 30s or 40s where someone is waving around a now vintage rare card? Last edited by Snapolit1; 09-29-2019 at 07:43 PM. |

Two old films I watched recently, Pride of the Yankees and Take me out to the Ballgame had cards in one scene each but they were prop cards. I watch a LOT of Turner Classic Movies and can't recall any other films with cards, real or otherwise.
OT from the intent of the post but I watched Rain Man again the other night and saw Dustin Hoffman's sweet '59 Frank Robinson which I had forgotten from seeing it many years ago. One of my fave's from that set.

The only one that came to mind was Pride of the Yankees. Babe Ruth...A Rookie! Classic line that cracks me up every time.
On another funny note, there was a one season tv show from last year named Reverie. They had an episode where a kid can't believe that this guy has a 1966 Roberto Clemente...except the card is obviously a 1968. The kid probably just forgot his lines, but nobody cared enough to catch it. |

Not an old movie, but certainly a classic...A Christmas Story. Early in the movie you see a T206 Reulbach on Ralphie's headboard. Also a Ty Cobb card, not sure which one.

I wish I could recall the short story but a few years ago I was reading through an anthology and there was a scene in one of the stories where a young kid on the street went around asking people for the pictures from their cigarette packs. I remember in the story he gets a Tris Speaker from a pack of Meccas cigarettes (T201).

It TV shows were included I'd say one of the episodes of Hart to Hart. They had a flipping contest before cards were placed in tombs known as slabs

I saw this episode for the first time about three weeks ago. I’ve been watching the show mornings on Hallmark. The opening montage caught my eye right away. It was so cool seeing those cards flipped. That was back in 1982 iirc. Long before slabs. Sometimes, the old ways are the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I was a kid in 1985, the movie Mask came out starring Cher. The baseball cards pinned to the wall was my favorite part of the movie.

Leave it to Beaver " Episode "Wally's Weekend Job "
When trying to pay for his soda, Gilbert empties his pockets on the counter and a number of baseball cards spill out. These are all Topps cards from the 1959 set even though the episode was filmed in 1961. The cards are #383 Words of Wisdom (Don Larsen and Casey Stengel), #392 Whitey Herzog, #416 Haywood Sullivan, #418 Gino Cimoli, #437 Ike Delock and #484 Willie Kirkland, all from the sixth series.

Someone ripped a mint 52T Mantle in half in "The Christmas Chronicles".

In Needful Things, a 1993 movie based on a Stephen King novel, a boy sells his soul for a Mickey Mantle. I believe it was a 1956. My soul is for sale or trade, but it will cost more than a ‘56 Mantle.
