Cards on TV / Movies

[B O'Brien]

A 1930's deceased Chester Copperpot, had a 1976 Lou Gehrig in his pocket in the Goonies. That is my least favorite part of the movie. Everything else was great, but come on, if you are going to track down a 1976 Topps, it is just as easy to find a 1933 G reprint.

In an episode of Green Acres, criminals steal expensive jewelry and stash them in a bin of grain. Unexpectedly, the grain is used to make breakfast cereal, and the cereal is shipped to Sam Drucker's store in Hooterville. Every time someone in Hooterville opens a box of cereal, he takes out a piece of fancy jewelry. For example, Lisa Douglas gets a tierra, and Arnold the pig gets dialmond earrings. But every time Oliver Douglas opens a box, he keeps getting a Yogi Berra card. Great plot, eh?

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the framed cards outside of George's office at Yankee Stadium in Seinfeld. There is a '34 Gerhig among other classics.

Robin Williams office in Good Will Hunting also has some cards. I forget which ones.

Here's an obscure one that I remembered from my childhood; I had to verify via some IMDB searching:

Walter & Emily Season 1 Episode 5 (Aired date: Sat, Dec 14, 1991): "Walter passes on to Zack the prized 1932 Ducky Medwich baseball card he inherited from his father, now worth $1,200."

You mean Fisk's home run...right?
