Moe Berg's '33 Goudey was the most expensive non-HOF card that I picked up last year while working on the set, and was actually more expensive than probably 3/4 of the HOF cards. In addition to his exploits for the OSS/CIA (great book by the way, I read it last year), Berg also gets a bump for his Jewish heritage. Kind of like '33 Goudey #52 Andy Cohen, which is tough to find in good condition and also commands a significant premium, I'm told due to being a target for collectors of Jewish players.
