To say the movie has zero effect on his card prices is short sighted. You can add the movie Eight Men Out, too. It is similar to advertising, which is known to influence opinion.
You can sit there and say with your vast knowledge of baseball, you knew all about him. To think the American public isn't influenced by Hollywood productions, is foolish. Think about these movies and the way they blurred the truth; Cobb, JFK, The Babe, and very current The Butler.
Also, don't forget it's the American public that determines the value of his cards. The same public that determines the price of a PSA 10 common.
To what effect the added advertising has done to his card value is debatable.
