Does Pujols have a rookie card? I bet he has about a 100 rookie cards. I bet there are about a 100 different Pujols cards from each month he has played in the big leagues. The card companies of Pujols' era have printed cards like, well, like our government prints money. They printed so many they became worthless, so then they had to invent something else like a "refractor" card.
And my other point is, what the hell is a refractor? I seriously had to look it up:
Quote:
re·frac·tor
Pronunciation: \ri-ˈfrak-tər\
Function: noun
Date of origin: 1769
Refractor: a telescope whose principal focusing element is a lens

So you put a bunch of tin foil on a card, call it a "refractor" (which it isn't, unless they make a card that is actually a telescope with a lens, which they just might do in a very limited and expensive series coming soon) and that gets people excited?
So the answer is no, I'm never tempted to collect Pujols.
and in my opinion you could combine the misdeeds of Bonds, McGwire, Palrmero, and Sosa and it wouldn't hold a candle to the dirty player that Cobb was, or a few others in the early days.
