I like the rookie cards, Carl.

I started buying up that kind of stuff a couple of years ago since that is what I collected as a kid growing up in the '80's. Unfortunately, while it was a lot of fun while I was buying the rookies in the dime and quarter boxes at card shows, when it came time to sell some to recoup some of my money, I saw the darker side of "investing" in those rookie cards. I quickly found out that nobody really cares about the stars of yesterday unless they are in the HOF. Everything else is literally "a dollar a dozen", pretty much. I don't mean to put a damper on things for you, just don't want you to go down the same road as me and potentially "waste" a lot of money. It's easy to get addicted quite quickly collecting that kind of stuff because you can pick it up so cheap compared to "book price".
