How about a baseball card movie ?
Has anyone seen "Dimished Capacity" ? It stars Alan Alda as an old man with a very rare Wildfire Schulte card (looks like a T206 size-wise) and Matthew Broderick plays his nephew, who is driving him to a card show to sell it ?
I saw it a while back and the discussion about baseball movies made me wonder if others were aware of it. Have a great day ! |

I wanted to like the movie but couldn't. I thought it was terrible.

The movie A Christmas Story has some old cards near the beginning, stuck to the headboard of Ralphie's bed. If you're anything like me, you'll see that scene about 6-10 times nine days from now

I concur Diminished Capacity was ok...worth watching...the way they handle baseball cards in these always drives me up the wall. My mother-in-law who had dementia, lived with us for several years until her death, so it was interesting to me from that perspective.

Ralphie also mentions "Rube Walker" calls him "Ruby" as many of us oldtimers did. Dave. Kinda like "Hooteman or Houteman"?

Anyone seen Brighton Beach Memoirs? Lots of cards/memorabilia on the walls of the main character's bedroom.

The Natural- it has the uncut sheets of wanna be '41 Play Ball type cards
Mask- Rocky Dennis rips his buddy's '55 Topps card... I think it's Rube Walker but might be wrong.. Check that, I think he rips a '74 Topps Dodger (Cey?).. But think they have a '55 Rube Walker Major League- Pedro Cerrano has a '54 Topps Aaron hanging in his locker Boardwalk Empire- Jimmy's son has a stack of T206's including a Cobb bat on (assuming reprints) I'll add more if they occur to me... I'm not sure this is the OP's intention but I like where this is going. ADDING- Jacob's Ladder- sort of a downer here... little McAauly Culkin while crossing the drops a stack of '74 Topps cards and gets run over by a car while picking them up Stand By Me- Gordie Le Chance's big bro (John Cusack) has some Topps cards hanging from his wall.. I think maybe a '60 Mantle? Which I think I remember bugging me because the movie is supposed to be in the late '50's. I may be making that memory up though.. Haven't seen the movie in year Big- flipping through a wax pack ('86 or '87 based on shooting dates) saying, "got em, got em, need him, got em" Last edited by itjclarke; 07-31-2013 at 09:43 PM.
