Name a movie in which baseball cards make an appearance

[Laxcat]

Does anyone remember Encyclopedia Brown? They did a how episode that was set at a card show. They had a made up player with a made up card that was a bastardization of a 1988 Donruss.

Clarissa explains it all did. Main character's brother collected cards. An episode of McGuyver had him chasing down a stolen card collection. Rain man as well(good ole Dustin Hoffman).

"Mr. Baseball"

There's a seen in which Tom Selleck's character gives out what look like 1991 Upper Deck cards of himself instead of business cards to team executives and delivers the line, "And no sitting on my face." (It's considered impolite in Japan to put a person's business card in your back pocket.)

One of those random Disney sitcoms (I think it was Lizzie McGuire) had an episode where the son trades his fathers collection to get a Paul O'Neil base card to finish his set.

Who could forget the classic Rugrats episode where Tommy goes to a ballgame and, while crawling around the stadium, he overhears a baseball card trade deal going down involving a Vida Blue!

Cop and a Half with Tom Selleck. A guy's angry girlfriend starts tossing his baseball cards out of their apartment window. Episodes of My Brother and Me(old nickelodeon show) had the main characters trading basketball cards.

Do any of you remember the TV show "Hart to Hart" with Robert Wagner & Stephanie Powers? One of the episodes dealt with a baseball card collection.

Cop and a Half with Tom Selleck. A guy's angry girlfriend starts tossing his baseball cards out of their apartment window. Episodes of My Brother and Me(old nickelodeon show) had the main characters trading basketball cards.

The guest star on that episode was Kendall Gill! A couple years ago my brother and me (pun intended) were at the Big Ten basketball tourney in Indianapolis and saw Gill standing around near the concession area. We ran up to him yelling "Ken-DALL GILL!" like Alfie and Dee-Dee. One of the greatest moments of my life.

The Avengers. Agent Coulson had "Trading Cards" that were in his locker...

Spoiler Alert







The end of the movie "Comic Book Villains" has a small twist, where the collection of comic that were the point of the movie end up being only half of the dude's collection.
