Default Herpolsheimer's and Xmas - do you remember any of the old bb card brands?
Posted By: Scot Reader

Dan,
You weren't halucinating. Herpolsheimer's is in Polar Express. The storefront is shown and one of the kids even shouts out the name as the train roars by. I also just got my annual dose of "It's a Wonderful Life" two days ago and noticed the Sweet Caporal sign in Mr. Gower's store that says "Ask Dad, He Knows" from which George gets the idea to ask his Dad before delivering poison pills that the druggist, distraught over his son's death, had inadvertently bottled. I too love seeing references to long defunct baseball card brands.
