I can't think of too many baseball cards that have pretty much been the central focus of the plot of a movie, like this one was for Cop Out..
I know, I know, it's not the reason it's expensive. BUT it does add to the card being one of those that transcends the hobby, and into the mainstream..
"Paul Hodges: What's with the box?
Jimmy Monroe: I gotta sell the Pafko.
Paul Hodges: I heard that. I know that's right... I'm lying. What's a Pafko?
Jimmy Monroe: It's a baseball card.
Paul Hodges: Jimmy, if you need twenty bucks...
Jimmy Monroe: A$$hole, I don't need twenty bucks."
