I guess I still just don't get it.
Hank Greenberg was Jewish. His cards go for less, and he was a much better baseball player.
Jimmy Doolittle did a lot more in the war ... and his cards (in the 1934 Sky Birds series for example) barely go for more than a common.
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.
