Baseball cards in TV shows

Being a collector my eyes are in tune with my surroundings.  When I watch a TV show or a movie and there are baseball cards in a scene I take note.

I didn't watch it last evening, but apparently the ABC sitcom, The Goldbergs, had a scene that featured some baseball cards. 

This image came from the ABC press release about the hidden April Fools' Jokes in their Wednesday night line up of comedies.

The character Murray Goldberg is portrayed by actor Jeff Garlin.  I first noticed him in his film, I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With.

I know of some other shows where baseball cards get some screen time.  Do you know of any?

  5. I think "Who's The Boss" made a Tony Micelli card in the style of 1983 Topps.

    PS - Blogger has GOT to fix their stinking captcha thing. I can never leave a comment from Chrome, and I loathe opening Explorer to leave comments. That's why I rarely comment on anything anymore. It's always a crapshoot whether it will work or not.

  7. The execs at Topps should watch the show. I actually really like the Gary Petty card design in that binder.
