I know I am somewhat of an exception to the the rule, but I have never looked upon rookie cards as anything other than another card, in a set, or of a player that I am pursuing. Especially in light of the fact that there is constant disagreement as to what constitutes a rookie card. To me, a rookie card is a players first card. Nothing more, nothing less. We all know of players that began their careers in the mid to late 20's, yet I constantly read that their rookie card is the 33 Goudey. When in fact here has been 5 or 6 earlier editions. So I guess a players rookie card is in the eye of the beholder. In addition to the fact that cards that get labeled rookie cards, get an arbitrary price hike. So to answer your question, it has never been "in" for me. Rarity and condition are my primary motivators.
