SMPEP, read The Catcher was a Spy. Then consider that Berg touched a broad spectrum of very diverse people. A few of those folks, here and there, probably wanted a Berg card back in the late '40s to late '50s. Kinda like how Shag Shaughnessy's white border southern league card had increased demand in the teens, 20's and 30's, because of his position in minor league baseball. Lots of folks who didn't really collect baseball cards did want one of Shag's in those days.

I think that's what pulled some of Berg's cards out of the hands of normal collectors ("normal, thought that was a setting on a clothes dryer") and into the hands of folks who'd only get one card, Moe's. Those singletons are now most likely lost to our hobby.

Based on the way you asked your question and your first response, it sounded like you'd already made up your mind.

Somewhere, I have one of his business cards from long ago. If I can find the right box I'll get an image posted.
