In a more recent movie, 'The Accountant', the title character was sometimes paid for his 'work' with Baseball Cards and he had some pricey ones in a drawer.

MASK with Rocky and his Dodgers wall is great. I watched that movie over and over as a kid, at first admittedly just because there were cards in it. Rocky talks about the '55 Dodgers but if you look closely, he also has '56 Topps cards as part of that collection. Love the scene with Cher ripping up a card - I think it is a '74 Ron Cey? And then Rocky's prized possession on his wall is obviously the '55 Jackie. If the movie was set in the late 70's that was probably a $15 or so card then. Oh and then his grandpa brings him a '55 Bowman Pee Wee but drives a thumb tack straight thru the card itself...classic.
