The Hallmark Channel has a series called "When Calls the Heart". Its sort of a "Little House" look alike set in a Canadian mining town. One of the episodes last fall centered around a young boy who was good at finding lost things. He eventually found a missing piece of evidence to help the local Mountie solve a crime. At one point the kid is going through his pocketful of treasures and he drops a T206 Wagner on the ground. Good touch since the show is set exactly in 1910! I laughed out loud when I saw it and my wife thought I was nuts.

Feature film "Memphis Belle" showed some '41 Playballs. The afore mentioned 'Diminished Capacities" shows a T206 Wildfire Schulte and takes the viewer to a card show where Ernie Banks is the signing guest. Looked like a nice show!
