A bit. I've never been much of a fan of Joe DiMaggio, for example, because of how he treated fans, so I probably place less value on having cards of his than his place in Yankees and baseball history otherwise merits. I used to idolize Willie Mays until I met him at a card show and was so disgusted by his behavior that I dumped my entire collection of his cards. I also don't bother with the steroid boys even though Bonds and Clemens should be in the top echelon of player collections. I'd normally go after a nice signed card of each to represent them but haven't bothered.
