I actually think that's the majority opinion. Mine is contrarian

I much prefer collecting common players to HOFers. I already know what the HOFers look like. Part of it is that I can afford more of them, but I love picking up a card of a player I don't already have in any set. In fact I have a "Player Wantlist" consisting entirely of obscure dudes who only appeared in one or two sets.
Anybody got a 1934 Exhibit Len Koenecke or an E286 JuJu Drums of Harry Cheek (he had a MLB career BA of .500!)?
