1948 Leaf Rocky Graziano. Card scarcity. Sells for 100x-1000x cards from same set in similar condition.

Anything Moe Berg sells for multiples of what it should based on his career alone, however die hard Jewish collectors and the mystique of his pseudo life as a spy push his price to HOF levels. Interesting as it crosses the spectrum to of all of his collectibles and is not relegated to just a particular issue that was short printed or features variations.

Neither of them made the majors, but they were the only players from the OJ set pictured with these teams and both are hard to find, so that makes them extra mediocre and expensive

IMO, Graziano doesn't fit with the majority of guys listed in the thread. Yes, his card sells for far more than the rest of the '48 Leaf set due to its extreme rarity. But Graziano was far above mediocre. He was middleweght champion and is a boxing Hall of Famer.

To me, a better boxing reference would be Bob Murphy in the '51 Topps set. Murphy is largely forgotten these days other than by hardcore boxing fans, yet the Bob Murphy card in the '51 Topps is the highest priced card in the set.

Default Bill O'Hara

How about Bill O'Hara? People are willing to lay down a lot of cash for his St. Louis T206 card. This for a guy that played two seasons in the majors (124 games), hit .232, 1 home run and had 32 RBIs.

Here's an article on Ten. His daughter was Dixillion, I believe (mark m can no doubt correct me if it is not) and I believe she went by Dixie . She doesn't have a baseball card.
