Not sure about the movie but in Stephen Kings Needful Things novel one of the items in the store that's coveted is a 1956 Topps Sandy Koufax. I believe it's a 56. I haven't read the book in 25 years.

There is a 2013 episode of Modern Family that has Phil and Manny meeting a guy in a parking lot near a dumpster to purchase a mint condition signed Joe DiMaggio card. The card appears modern in the brief flashes that it is seen (1980's Topps?), but the scene is classic.

If my memory serves me...in the book...in this scene...there was also a honus wagner in this "box."

As with many of King's stories, there's both a book and a movie. Interestingly, there's a divergence whereas it concerns the card.

Yes, it's a 1956 Topps. In the book, the card is a signed Koufax. For the movie, it was Mantle.
