It's not a tv show, but a commercial I've been trying to find forever and can't. I want to say it was a Hallmark commercial, but since I have never been able to find it on YouTube or otherwise throughout the years, it's possible I'm wrong. Anyway, this would have been from the holiday season of around 1988 if I'm remembering correctly - but the premise is there is a girl that is a baseball (softball?) player and for gifts everyone knows she's a tomboy, but it's one special uncle who gives her baseball stuff. At the end of the commercial there is a '52 Topps card (I'm not sure who...but I want to say a Cardinal...) tacked to her dresser. It was just a neat, nostalgic piece - maybe she also got a catcher's mitt for Christmas? I did too around the same time, maybe that's why I remember it so fondly.
