Good luck with your quest. I did the same thing for a long time. I abandoned it because although a number of the rookie cards are very attractive Clemente, Koufax, Killebrew, Kaline, Gibson, Banks, Aaron etc are beautiful cards many others are boring or unattractive. Although I own copies of the Rose, Stargell, Jackson, Ryan, Carlton, Sutton, Morgan and Bench serve as examples of this. In the end I decided that I wanted attractive copies of cards depicting members of the HOF. Due to this I added a T206 Mathewson Dark Cap, T205 Baker, 1955 Ted Williams, a 1956 Mantle, 1956 Robinson, 1952 Doby etc. I just find the aesthetic beauty of the card more appealing than the year it was produced.
