A screen-matched James Alexander Dix (Damon Wayans) football card from Tony Scott's The Last Boy Scout. Darian Hallenbeck (Danielle Harris), daughter of private investigator Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) asked disgraced former Stallions quarterback Jimmy Dix to autograph her football trading card, to which he obliged. Specific details in the hand-written inscription and signature screen-match this card to a close-up shot in the film.
Originating from the personal collection of renowned weapons specialist and prop master Mike Papac, this gray "NFL Pro Set Super Bowl Supermen" trading card features color photographs of Dix in his full helmet and jersey along with his name and stats. It is signed in silver-color ink with the inscription "To the daughter of the last Boy Scout - Jimmy Dix." It exhibits some wear from use and age, including some staining. Dimensions: 3.5" x 3" (9 cm x 7.75 cm)
Estimate: $800 - 1,600
