When I wrote what I wrote about the sub-par multi-player rookie cards, please don't take it personally. I fully recognize the draw of collecting rookie cards. When the hobby cranked into top gear in the early 80s, the pursuit of rookie cards of famous players really took off.

I just wish for you and the others that you could get a better looking card with just that player alone for his first card. But, you know, when that's what there is, and you accept the fact, you go for it and when you get one you love, it's a real joy. That's cool.
