Maybe we're thinking of the same thing, but I saw a real 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle permanently affixed to the bottom of an ashtray. To view Mickey's portrait, you had to look through the glass.

I also know of a case of a professionally graded card collection that was in a house fire, and the cards and plastic were sealed together. The dealer offered the cards for sale as one mass.
