OT: The Accountant

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

I saw the new Ben Affleck movie The Accountant today. There's a scene where he's in his motorhome where he's stashed all his valuables in case he needs to get out of town quick. He opens a drawer and inside are stacks of hundred dollar bills, passports, foreign currency, gold bars and guess what else? Yep neatly stacked and graded mint investment grade vintage baseball cards (and some comic books too!)

Cards have officially hit mainstream Hollywood as liquid assets.... :-)

AJ I saw the movie too---Very good movie--I noticed the drawer too--the comic book was Superman issue 1--I saw the baseball cards, but couldn't tell what they were--a quick one second scene (Maybe it was a 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson) Ha Ha---

I just looked this movie up. It looks really good and one I now want to see.

I watched a few trailers looking to see if they showed the cards/comic books but I believe they just cut it short. (at 1.27)

I wonder if it was Ben who paid $140,000 for the RC PSA 8 Clemente some weeks back? Or if it was if he even cares he could have gotten the same card for much less in another auction a few weeks later.
