Bumping as I’m finally getting around to watching Better Call Saul. The whole episode was devoted to this guy getting his baseball cards back. Pretty funny as I can relate. If this happened to me, I’d go to the cops too. He’s spouting off names and cards that would be upsetting to have had stolen.

Anyway, another weird movie fact I saw a few years ago (2018). While watching Creed, they show Pardon the Interruption on tv, which happens to show that Patriots vs. Eagles on the bottom line. This was the Super Bowl matchup in 2018. Cool thing is, Creed was made three years earlier in 2015! Great prognostication? Cool that I happened to watch this movie shortly after the 2018 Super Bowl, so it stood out to me.

How about 'Cop Out' from 2010 with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. Willis is a cop who loses his 1952 Topps - Andy Pafko card #1, and spends the whole movie trying to get it back so can sell it to help pay for his daughter's wedding.

I remember watching an episode of Dennis the Menace where he had a 1955 Topps Koufax.

Just saw a new Xtandi (drug) commercial and a guy named Karl Foster plays catch with a kid then shows him a box with his baseball card in it. It was a fantasy 1980 topps card and showed him playing for the Armadillos.

Pretty cool commercial with a card that never existed but showed him playing catch with a neighbor kid which was cool.

CONTENT ADVISORY: NON-SPORT CARD RELATED, WITH SPOILER

Everybody Loves Raymond, season 4, episode 17, "Hackidu," original airdate 2/21/00

Synopsis (cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia, slightly edited and supplemted by me): In a spoof of the Pokémon craze, Ray's daughter Ally makes a Hackidu card trade (all of her cards for one Scramisaur card) which Ray does not agree with. He reverses the trade, only to find out that the Scramisaur card that Ally was getting is actually very rare and an expensive. Ally is devastated and to make it right, Ray buys her a Scramisaur from an eccentric card shop owner. Ray presents the mint condition card to Ally, who promptly folds it and puts it in her pocket.

I remember Magnum PI had an episode once involving a 1954 Al Kaline rookie card.
