1933 Goudey #158, Moe Berg.
The catcher was a spy. 🕵 There is a display at the CIA dedicated to Moe Berg.
Moe Berg is an iconic figure in baseball history, known as much for his intellect as his athleticism. A journeyman catcher who played in the major leagues from 1923 to 1939, Berg was never a star on the field, but his reputation off the diamond was legendary. Fluent in several languages and a graduate of Princeton and Columbia Law School, he famously said, “I’d rather be a ballplayer than a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.” During World War II, Berg served as a spy for the Office of Strategic Services, using his linguistic skills and baseball fame to gather intelligence in Europe. His unique blend of brains and baseball has made him one of the most intriguing characters in the sport’s history.

Happy Friday friends and card folk. 🌞

Won in a teletrade auction back in the early 1990’s for around $50. This card has nice color and is in decent condition. 1933 Gou

Hi Hall of Fame Card Fans! I hope you had a happy Thursday.
Here's a little known HOFer to brighten your day.

The story behind how I got this card is kind of long but great in my opinion !

So I have only owned this card for about a week so far but the story behind how I got it goes like this, I was just visiting my dad at his house, we were talking for a few hours and going through sports cards, he bought me a few boxes for my upcoming birthday and I pulled a Bo Nix sweater patch card which I immediately sleeved up and sent photos to my friend who is a huge Denver fan, we veered off topic and started talking about old western movies and I know that it isn’t that old but I brought up how I loved watching the movie young guns when I was a kid (I am 25) and it was the first western I had ever watched, Emilio Estevez played Billy the kid well in my opinion, anyways I told my friend I would be stopping by to give him the Bo Nix card as I am not a Denver broncos fan and he has a big Bo collection going, I was at my dads for about two more hours then I drove to my friends house down the street, when I walked in he had this 1933 goudey billy the kid card in his hand and he just said “look what I found in a bin of cards I just bought “ I thought god sent the card right to me lol, I told him about how I was literally just talking to my dad about Billy the kid ! He let me take the card home as well as a later year goudey card from the 40s that he found in the same bin as a birthday present to me and also a thank you for just giving him the Bo Nix card. Talk about accidentally manifesting something cool !
