He said, "It's a Mantle rookie card and it's worth millions!" What show was was that on?
It made me think of all those threads on Net54 where we mention a show or movie where they show baseball cards. I found this fairly exhaustive list on the web when trying to find out about the recent show I saw:

Not the one you are looking for, but the plot of the Bruce Willis flick "Cop Out" contains a reference to a '52 Topps card - I think it is the Pafko, though. Willis' character tries to sell the card for less than a grand, if I recall, and at the end of the film, someone shoots the guy carrying the card in his shirt pocket and the bullet also destroys the card. Nobody cared but Willis.
