As always, there seems to be a split between "collectors" and "investors". I certainly agree that as an investment, commons are a terrible place to spend your money. As a collector, however, I get a satisfaction from complete sets that I would not get if I only bought HOFers and stars. My collection won't be worth as much as it could be if I stuck to the stars, but I'll enjoy it a whole lot more.
