Default First Appearance Of a Baseball Card In a Movie?

Posted By: Bob Lemke

In that 1949 movie, Gene Kelly and Frnak Sinatra are shown on the train looking over their T206 "Wolves" cards. When they get off the train they're mobbed by kids begging for "baseball pictures." One of the players throws a handful of the cards in the air for the kids and says something like, "I'm the baseball picture king!" The actual prop cards for the movie were sold in a major hobby auction in the last 3-4 years.
