Ty Cobb's True Rookie Card

Jay,

I got caught up in the Rookie Card Craze of the 80's when I first started collecting as a kid. Over time, I started collecting vintage Rookie Cards, and ultimately this became the focus of my collection. I think I can speak for all collectors with interests that are similar to mine in that we really don't care if you think it is retarted.

Personally, I think putting a "players set" together is retarted, but that's just me. Who would spend money on a bunch of players that you know little to nothing about, trying to compile a set that is impossible to complete?

The point of my post is that we all have different collecting interests, and that is one of the great things about this hobby. People should be allowed to post a question without being told that what they choose to collect is "retarted".

Just my opinion.
