much of the story line revolves around rocky completing his 1955 brooklyn dodger team set.
well worth the watch!

Rocky Dennis was still a better looking chap than Don Mossi!

Family Matters

Urkel trades Johnny Gill one of his two "gem mint" '52 T Mantles (so that he'll sing to Laura).

You can see the cards from a distance, and I gave them kudos for actually using the Mantle. Given that Jaleel White was a serious collector back then, I wondered if they could've possibly been real. But since it was just the third season and White hadn't been a big star for long, dunno if he would had the $$ to land those during the junk wax era

I remember an episode of Ray Donovan about two seasons ago when he went to the basement of a house in New York and some T205s were on the wall.

The Sandlot:

The Babe taking Aaron's 54 Rookie card. The scene at the kitchen table at breakfast and a full box of Post Cereal from 1962 with cards on back.

The box box was borrowed for the scene from Dr. James McAvoy.

I think there was also a '62 Lou Brock pinned up in the treehouse

It's not a tv show, but a commercial I've been trying to find forever and can't. I want to say it was a Hallmark commercial, but since I have never been able to find it on YouTube or otherwise throughout the years, it's possible I'm wrong. Anyway, this would have been from the holiday season of around 1988 if I'm remembering correctly - but the premise is there is a girl that is a baseball (softball?) player and for gifts everyone knows she's a tomboy, but it's one special uncle who gives her baseball stuff. At the end of the commercial there is a '52 Topps card (I'm not sure who...but I want to say a Cardinal...) tacked to her dresser. It was just a neat, nostalgic piece - maybe she also got a catcher's mitt for Christmas? I did too around the same time, maybe that's why I remember it so fondly.

I did see also mentioned earlier the '58 Mantle All-Star in Stand By Me. The error there is the '60 Yogi Berra that is with it. (The movie was set in 1959).

Also with Stephen King's Needful Things - the card in the book interestingly enough is a '56 Koufax, not Mantle. I guess the Hollywood folks thought Mantle would play better on the big screen. Also if you read the book, you will pick up enough about Stephen King's description of the young boy as a card collector to know that he can do good research as an author -- but he's no card collector himself. "Fleers" and some fictional "Lucky Strike" cards?
