Pete Rose Rookie
 

Yes, you get instant hobby cred for owning one. You get nothing else for your bang for bucks: too much cash for instant caché. Sure, he's the undisputed hit king and that should command some kind of premium, he's notorious, and it IS his rookie if you buy into that sort of thing (I do on the latter when I'm selling, not buying). Those floating head cards are super fugly in an otherwise great looking set.
