I mean I understand there would be a premium for Berg versus a common. He was an interesting guy (but so was Schact).

But when his cards are priced at the level of Gerhig and Dimaggio (and he carries a premium versus regular HOFers of the era)... well, that just seems silly to me.

But to each his own I suppose.

If anyone wants to trade a 1933 goudey Gehrig or a 1939 play ball DiMaggio for my Berg cards of those issues please email me.
