as for my guys, and the reason that i stick to simply the basic topps versions, is the sole amount of overproduced regional crap that's out there. nolan ryan alone has 14000+ different cards. just waayy too much and would suck the enjoyment outta it for me.
but please, whatever you do...do not listen to mcoxon about herb score. i am not finished w/ my player set just yet and don't wantcha to get hooked on him (just yet, at least)! ; )

LOL on Score! I understand what you are saying about the regional issues. By the time Ryan came along and entered his prime, the regional stuff (along with everything else) had proliferated. I wouldn't want to wade through all of the more modern regional items either. Part of what I like about the 1930s to 1950s was the charm, albeit sometimes rough around the edges, that regular and team/regional issues offered up. Between those and some more mainstream Topps and Bowman, I will be pretty busy with Spahn, Feller, Koufax, and maybe a guy like Branca. There are a ton of possibilities!
