Have you ever seen sports props in the background of a movie?

Dave Hamilton and I (Eric Cooper) started All Star Cards Ltd on Sherman Way in Van Nuys and also established the West Coast Card Club. Those were fun times with Clay Hill, David Koehler, Wes, Will Davis, Al Savage, Tony Galovich and of course one of the true hobby pioneer's... R.I.P. Goody.

That the one that was near the Toys R Us? I loved that store...bought my first t206 there (still have it...a very nice Bergen). I worked at Tripleplay on Riverside in the early '90s and with Max shortly around the same time. I remember Goody at shows and Dave Koehler sounds familiar too.

Good times. Cheap cards!

Not vintage but watched the new Will Ferrell movie "Everything Must Go" on HBO the other night, his prized posession was a 1978 signed Yankees World Series ball.

Spotted a Willie Mosconie exhibition poster in the background of the Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie GLeason...I picked up the same poster last May at Brimfield....Also there was a trophy case in the background one of the pool halls.




At May 2011 Brimfield

Not sports props but I watched "Arsonic and Old Lace" for the 20th time. Best comedy of all time starring Cary Grant. In the very beginning of the movie there is a quick shot of a real baseball game of the Brooklyn Dodgers at home. Not sure if the game is from 43 or 44 but the movie dated 1944. If you've never seen it, watch what a comedy is really suppose to be. Not the childish, boorish things they make today that they call comedy. Sorry for the slightly off topic post. Back to your regular scheduled program.

The Hustler could be one of the greatest sports movies of all time.
I like how Mosconi himself is the person racking up the balls in the big match between "Fast Eddie" and "Minnesota Fats". If you listen close, Gleason calls him, "Willie". Classic cinema. Btw, was there a find of that poster as I have seen it many times in the past. I saw its not dated in the advertising date area.
