On the other hand, Mike Schmidt or Ryne Sandberg don't get the same kind of hobby love. At least it doesn't seem that way when you look at how their paper trades. And arguably, Mike Schmidt and Ryne Sandberg played in bigger markets than Ozzie.
You say Ozzie Smith "cards" but do you just mean RC? As in a single card. Otherwise I wouldn't say his cards get any special skew.
