Default Vintage Cards in the Movies

Posted By: Jodi Birkholm

A Lou Gehrig card in the wallet of the dead explorer in "The Goonies". Actually, it looked like a 1970's Topps issue.



1960 Topps Ted Klu (among many others) featured in "Rain Man".



1955 Topps Rube Walker, 1955 Bowman Duke Snider and 3 1974 Topps Steve Garveys featured in "Mask".



Not the movies, but Marg Helgenberger found a stack of 1974 Topps cards in childhood the dresser drawer of Grissom's nemesis Paul Mullander in an episode of CSI.



A 1968 Topps Yaz was shown in an episode of "The Wonder Years".



A supposed Joe DiMaggio rookie card and a 1973 "mutton chop" Yaz have been featured on "The Simpsons".


A Tony Micelli baseball card was found among Tony's father in law's personal effects in an episode of "Who's the Boss?". Also, one episode revolved around Tony being forced to sell a 1962 Mets autographed ball that his father obtained in-person as a kid because Samantha needed a dress for the prom (or something equally ridiculous).

Might remember more later.
