I think collecting a set is a different twist to this topic. This is not meant in any way to be a knock on set collecting, but in that endeavor the cards can sort of just become widgets - they could just as well be a finite number undefined objects of which you need one of each. In that scenario you really don't care as much that the words and picture don't match - you still need it to have a complete set.
If you are collecting players, on the other hand, I think you want the picture to depict the guy you're chasing, not the words. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
