Moe Berg book; post your Berg cards/items
 
Posted By: <b>Rob Fouch</b><p>Hi, guys. In my weekly estate/garage sale browsing, I found a biography for 50 cents on Moe Berg: "Moe Berg: Athlete, Scholar, Spy," by Louis Koffman, Barbara Fitzgerald and Tom Sewell. I'm about halfway through it and it's fascinating. Anyone read this book? Are there better Berg books out there? I've always been familiar with his story, but didn't know many of the details. What an incredible man.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought it would also be cool to see what Berg cards you guys might have. This book might inspire me to try and get a few. I imagine there's a pretty healthy demand for his cards and memorabilia. Would I be correct in that assumption?<br /><br />Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what you've got.<br /><br />Rob

Posted By: <b>Rob Fouch</b><p>Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll have to check it out. This one's mostly just a bunch of quotes from people who knew Berg strung together into a basic narrative. Not the most beautifully written book ever. But the quotes and the facts about his life are fascinating. I can't believe his story has never been made into a movie. Seems like the perfect candidate.<br /><br />any more cards out there?

I was not able to go to it, but wish I had.<br /><br /><a href="http://upcoming.org/event/90127/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://upcoming.org/event/90127/</a><br /><br />Alan
