Lot 238: 1993 Moe Berg Central Intelligence Agency Exhibition Poster

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $1.00
Winning Bid: $50.15
Price Realized: $59.93
Auction Date:6/26/2005 9:00 PM EST

Riveting red poster from a 1993 exhibit of Moe Berg memorabilia -- held, tellingly, at the CIA Exhibit Center at the agency's D.C. headquarters. This was only logical given that Berg's mediocre big league career was a front for his role as a government spy in WWII. Some of his personal items shown include catcher's mitts, a camera, program from a Japan tour -- and a pistol. 12 x 19" poster is VG-0EX w/some mild damage of the corners. Berg's story never fails to fascinate, just as the poster does.
