Default First Appearance Of a Baseball Card In a Movie?

Posted By: Bob Rousseau

in an episode of Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO, his agent Jeff takes in a kid - sort of as a foster kid- and the kid robs his house, including his baseball card collection which I think we find included a '52 Mantle. Upon hearing about the theft happened and realizing how extensive it might have been, he yells "My Mickey Mantle!" and goes running to check, while his foul-mouthed wife yells at him "Oh sure- you're worried about [expletive] Mickey Mantle- that kid stole jewels my grandmother brought with her to Ellis Island!" (or something like that).
