For those who enjoy supplementing a Game Used collection with abstract baseball items,be advised that a current e-bay offering of an uncut Roy Hobbs sheet of cards used in the movie "The Natural", is an uncut sheet of 8 cards across and 5 cards down. The movie scene in which sheets are being cut display a sheet of only 6 cards across being cut in the press. In the movie the sheets borders are close to the cards without a modern color code along the edge. The ebay offering the borders edge are wide and do display a color code at the top ,again,unlike what appears on the screen. I asked the seller where he obtained it and he said he got it from his personal collection along with uniforms and programs from the moviewhich he already sold at auction. A side note in reference to the single Hobbs cards scene frequently being offered as original movie props. The real movie cards display GREAT detail in the shoulder patch and there should be very good shadowing in the spot between the upper right corner of the shoulder patch and Reford's back.
