Default Pre-War Baseball Cards in the Movies

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

To elaborate on Dan Bretta's post......a young Lou Gehrig in the beginning of The Pride of the Yankees was trading T206 Matty's,
Wagner, etc. for a chance to play hardball with the big guys.

Also on TV, some years back, Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers (Hart to Hart) were chasing after a BB card thief. It involved
a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and therewas a BB card flipping contest in it.

Thanks to Mark Macrae for clarifying my story on the BB card details of this Hart to Hart drama.
