In doing the BBCHOF I find it kind of sad that the vast majority of nominations for "best" cards are of HOFers. I realize that that HOFer cards get more exposure, but I'm sorry, I think the t206 Cobb is worst Cobb card in the set and actually find most HOFer cards in any given set pretty nondescript. If they didn't have the name Ruth, Cobb, etc on them, no one would care.

I find cards like Moxie Hengle's dead man pose, The Bagman and other cards of unusual poses far more intersting than any 33G Ruth or most other HOFer cards.

I'm assuming the lack of nominations for "common" cards is that most people aren't familiar with them. For me, HOFers are interesting to see, but I want to see the whole set.
