Its a movie about a guy who is shocked to learn that his baseball cards are worthless today. His family owned a chain of card stores in Canada back in the boom days but he missed out on the bust phase because of family problems, which twist into the storyline.

Its got a lot...Jose Canseco talking about his rookie card, several mentions of UD cranking out Griffeys, visits to Topps, Beckett and Burbank Sportscards... I enjoyed watching it.

You know those disclaimers in other movies that no animals were hurt while filming the movie? They can't say that about no cards being hurt while filming this movie.

I see it's available for rent/buy on Amazon. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I'm intrigued. I think I can rent Amazon movies on Roku. I'll have to look for it. Thanks for the link! ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Ok, I'm curious. What happened to the messages and the link. ------------------------------- Kari I am buying pre-1987 Non Sports. Let's discuss if you have any for sale, even if not listed here. --------------------------------------- There are no bad days.
