In fact, I generally shy away from late-career versions of players too. I remember looking at the 72 Topps Mays and 1975 Topps Aaron and thinking they looked so old. I don’t have any M101-4/5 Wagners or Cobbs.

I get not wanting cards from after a player’s career or at the tail end of it, but you may want to reconsider an M101-4 Cobb which was made right in the middle of his career. 1917 was one of the most dominant years of his career.
