How about a baseball card movie ?

I wanted to like the movie but couldn't. I thought it was terrible.

That's a good one.Gem Mint Pafko I can't remember what Willis said the value was though.

There was an episode of Deep Space Nine, written by my late friend and fellow collector Michael Piller, entitled "In the Cards."

Synopsis:

The mood aboard Deep Space 9 has grown dark as the Dominion threat has intensified. Three ships have disappeared along the Cardassian border in just the last three weeks, Odo has canceled a vacation due to increased thefts of food rations and medical supplies, and the crew is generally gloomy – Captain Sisko most of all. What's more, Kai Winn Adami announces she'll be visiting the station. Fortunately, Jake Sisko has a plan to lift his father's spirits – Quark has invited him to an auction at which a mint-condition Willie Mays rookie year baseball card will be available. He'll show up, purchase the card, and make a gift of it. "How hard can that be?"

"Needful Things" by Stephen King...the first customer purchased a 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle.

Interestingly enough, in the book, the card was Sandy Koufax.

I believe it was $80k. His justification was that "Gem Mint 10" sold for $80k, so he believed his would as well(typical non-collector)..

As bad as that movie was. I still enjoyed the hell out of it..

They actually find the 1973 Gehrig Topps in Mr. Copperpott's possesions though he was supposed to be down there in the time frame better suited for the Goudey. Im not sure why they didn't just spring for a repro instead of a cheaper almost modern at the time card. Heck a total beater would have even been relatively cheap by hollywood standards in the early/mid 80's when Goonies was made.
