Have you ever seen sports props in the background of a movie?

In the first 5 minutes of A Christmas Story, when they show Ralphies bed, you can very quickly see a couple of baseball cards (one is a T206) glued to the back headboard.

You can see quite a few items in "The Sandlot". James Earl Jones has them scattered throughout his house. They are shown towards the end of the movie.

Also in the movie "Good Will Hunting", Robin Williams has about 20 baseball cards on a board behind his desk.

In the original Rocky, during the scene in which the “Italian Stallion” takes Adrian ice skating on their first date, he pulls a news clipping/photo from his wallet to prove to her that he's a professional fighter. The photo is actually a real Associated Press wirephoto taken Nov. 12, 1968, showing Canadian heavyweight champion George Chuvalo knocking another fighter through the ropes at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Rocky points to Chuvalo and says something like, “See, that's me right there!” What makes it particularly ironic is that the real-life opponent Chuvalo is pummelling is Italian champion Dante Cane. I have a Type 1 version of that photo, along with a program and handbill from the fight, in my collection.
