Default The Pride of the Yankees - Did anyone notice the Ruth Rookie card?

I just watched "The Pride of the Yankees". I haven't watched it in over 30 years. When watching it this time, I noticed something interesting. In the scene where Lou Gehrig was a kid and he asked whether he could play in a sandlot game. He offered some baseball cards to another kid that he had in his hand. I believe he said that he had some Caporals including Wagner. They were never shown. In addition he said that he had a Ruth rookie which he did show to the other kid. It certainly looked like the real thing. Movie was made in 1942, so the card wasn't considered rare back then. I just wonder where that card ended up.

By the way, the movie was excellent!
