Jewish

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

The problem lies in the fact that "Greenberg" isn't exactly the most Jewish-sounding name. Kinda WASPy. I for one was educated by the seller's listing title. Thank you, kind stranger!

I agree with Tim. There are a lot of collectors of Jewish players, so adding the word "Jewish" so the seller finds all the buyers. It's just good marketing. Same as a certain auction house having hot women greet you as you enter the National.

P.S.

Unfortunately for the seller, I'm a poor Jew.

As a Mormon/LDS collector, I always appreciate it when a seller adds that to the title. I pretty much know who every Mormon player in history is, but I don't see how it should offend a "niche" collector.

is that listing actually offensive?

I must be out of touch.

I don't think anyone found it offensive; just gratuitous.

I don't believe Latka Gravas was either Latvian or Orthodox. (But a great character, nonetheless!)

Expect to pay big money for the Kavorka's rookie card.

George, what is it about Latvian Orthodox that you find most appealing?
