Well put Jeremy. For a lot of people (myself included) that have been collecting cards for a while (20+ years) it just gets hard to get excited about another T206 card, or even an E90-1 card for that matter. I tend to like cards with actual likenesses of the players depicted, something missing on a lot of the E90-1 cards (not all though as there are some great E90-1's). Also, as a history buff the most exciting thing for me as I pick up a card of a player I had never heard of before is to do some research on them. In my opinion, it's when you get past the well-documented Major Leaguers that this hobby gets the most interesting & fun.
If I wasn't already collecting Zeenuts I would be going after this series, and I'm sure someday I will, as this series has everything in it that I enjoy about collecting a card set.
