I’ve definitely had the same experience as the OP in trying to buy Mo Berg, and also a similar one with Ray Chapman after reading Mike Sowell’s “The Pitch that Killed”.
These might be fightin words to some, but what about Smoky Joe Wood? He was a very good player for a few years, but his cards are more valuable than many HOFers.
Also Bo Jackson. Junk wax, and the man could mash, but was a bigger celebrity than a great player (8.3 career WAR).
