Who is your definition of a common man?
Let me explain what I mean a little further. In a thread I was reading, someone mentioned not liking to build sets as they would rather skip the Sixto Lezcano cards and grab the cards they want. I think we all probably have "that guy" when we are talking about and describing a type of card by using a named example.
 For me, the definition of a common, unwanted card was first Bob Apodaca, because I just thought the guy was plain ugly on his 1978 tops card and remember my disappointment when i pulled one from a pack, but later changed it to Jerry Dybzinski, because of that name. If that isn't a name that screams dirt common, I don't know what is.  Please share your favorite common names when used in a derogatory nature.

Common guy?
I used to HATE pulling Vern Ruhle cards. I don't have anything against him, and I am sure he was a great player and guy, but it seems like every time I pedaled my bike to the store to buy a pack of cards, I got a Vern Ruhle card every time.
I NEVER got a Rose or Mattingly or Boggs, but I had something like 15 duplicate Vern Ruhle cards. A couple of years ago, I bought some random pack of Topps at Walmart, and pulled a vintage card winner on eTopps. When I logged in to see what card I won, guess who it was?

 First real set I collected, and grew to hate: 1988 Topps. Just so boring. And I probably had 12 of this guy.

I also had about a million rookie cards of "can't miss" prospects Kevin Elster and Greg Jeffries around 1988.
