Eric,

I know where your coming from when you say that the Pete Rose rookie is overemphasized. However, it has become a historically significant card because it has the normal high number scarcity coupled with the fact it was one of the first rookie cards that took a big jump because Pete was chasing the hits record.

But don't assume that everybody makes money with rookie cards. It really depends on when you buy them. For about 7 or 8 years the Pete Rose was stuck at $800 and it's only recently jumped up to a $1,000. So if you bought it 7 or 8 years ago, then a 20% jump isn't that much.

If you had taken the same amount of money 7 or 8 years ago and had put it into T-206 commons, you have doubled or tripled your money.
