I'd call it an obsession.... kind of like the guy that likes that mustachioed player in the T206 set.... either of you guys gonna fess up to having more cards of a certain player from a certain issue?
I have over 3,000 rookie cards of Omar Vizquel, if that's what you mean? Some guy was taking 1989 Topps Traded sets, pulling the Griffey cards to get them graded, then selling off a couple of the stars cheap, and trashing the rest. I bought most of his Vizquel cards for about 10 cents each.

So if someone is looking for a 1989 TT Paul Kilgus or Randy Kutcher, they are a lot less common than the Griffey card because many thousands were trashed
