Default Who are the most "over-valued" players

Over-priced would have been a wrong word since price is determined by demand. But in that vein, what pre-war players generally come with a higher value than their actual accomplishments on the field.

Not saying they're bad player, but they cost more to acquire than similar talent players. I'm not talking about a single card either. This applies to all cards of that player.

My first thought is Hank Greenberg. He brings a significant premium over players like Charlie Gehringer or even Mel Ott. He legend as a Jewish player certainly aids demand. But based on skills alone he shouldn't be that much higher.

Notoriety always helps too. Moe Berg is valued high because of his "off the playing field" notoriety.

What other players bring an excess of premium to their cards?
