Probably because most of us as kids considered them 'junk' cards. Even the ones with stars or HOF'ers on them are hard to get excited about. And if you add in the fact that Topps usually double printed most of them (having them issued in both the current and preceding series), that the rarity of the unmarked versions is somewhat mitigated by the glut of the cards in existence.
For me, the only one I care about is the rare 1963 Fleer checklist. That's a beauty to get your hands on.
