That's one of the reasons that I haven't worked on my complete Topps run in quite a while. Don't get me wrong, I'll still pick up cheap lots of commons here and there, but for the most part, that collection has pretty much stalled out in favor of my HOF rookie collection and modern rookie/autos..
Putting together a rookie set of my fantasy team each year is becoming a habit, same for the Indians teams...
