For me, the '74 Garvey will always be notable for it's appearance in "Mask" (the one with Cher and Eric Stoltz; not the one with Jim Carrey...)
"You don't even have a Garvey card Ben, jeez..."
Despite the fact that the movie was set in 1980 or so, the card that Rocky's character had was the '74, and he had like 3 of them. He trades one for his cousin Ben's '55 Topps Rube Walker, which is one of the last cards he needs for his '55 Brooklyn collection.
