In a few episodes of the first season of Seinfeld, there's a wax box of 1990 Donruss baseball on top of his refrigerator.

I've watched that show so many times and never saw it. Here's a screenshot... Made me smile

1988 movie "RAIN MAN"....with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

There are several scenes of Hoffman with his BB card collection (1950's cards). Hoffman portrays the long lost (autistic savant) brother of Cruise.

In the 1990's I was set-up at a small BB card show in Robbinsville, NJ. A fellow named Pete came to my table looking for Thurman Munson cards.
He amazed me. First by telling me I was a Yankees fan......then, by perfectly reciting the bio on the back of the 1971 Thurman Munson card from
memory. I continued talking with Pete, and I was stunned with his unbelievable ability to recall events and BB related things.

Later, I found out that this fellow Pete was one of the guys that Dustin Hoffman consulted with for his performance for the Rain Man movie.

The Princeton (NJ) newspaper had a write-up profiling autistic savant people who lived in the area, and Pete was one of them.

At around 2:25 Mick Jones flashes a card that sort of looks like a knock off of Al Kaline's 1962 Topps all-star card:

There is an episode of Leave It to Beaver where he holds some 1959 topps cards in his hand

The Hart to Hart episode and Amazing Stories really stick out in my mind as a young collector back then. Especially the Amazing Stories episode.

There is an episode of the Wonder Years that centres around Fred Savage’s character trying to trade for a Willie McCovey card from his friends. You can see that the cards they hold in some scenes are actually late 80s Topps cards rather than cards from late 60s sets though.
