I tried to collect one Beckett recognized rookie card from each player. Not a "true" rookie collection as there are always the discrepancies and nuances of first cards vs rookie cards and regional issues, etc. But cards I've found enjoyable nonetheless. I also really wanted to keep my overall card quality at NM or better. I'm still short of that goal on the 2 Prewar cards. I add a card here or there when I can and it's the first set I think I've ever "completed".
Those punch outs are pretty cool. It's funny that Topps would choose that image following his triple crown season for the American League card.
Cubsfan - I'll keep my eyes open for upgrades but since starting this set, I've really delved into my prewar interests and am concentrating moreso on some of those goals right now.
