I didn't get any bad info since I didn't get any hard info at all prior to starting this thread.That's why I started this thread. Whether I'm getting any good info now remains to be seen.

I definitely don't only collect Larkin, and wasn't implying such. But in the rare and expensive 90s cards, I only buy Larkins. For an admitted pedant, it's odd how you would remove a sentence entirely from its context to make it mean something entirely different from what was said.

I didn't take your post out of context. I thought you were saying
exactly that Barry Larkin's are the only chase cards you collect from the 1990's. But I can't understand why you as a baseball fan and baseball card enthusiast would be collecting only the Larkin card from insert sets. Sure, I understand that you might not be able to either afford or stomach paying the truly inflated prices the Derek Jeter and Ken Griffey Jr. cards command, but why do you not go after the other players in subsets you find really attractive? And are there any master sets or even base sets at all from the 1990's that you're trying to complete?
