It’s been just about 2 months now since my original post so I thought it would be a good time to provide an update on how my modern rookie cards collection is going. I am certainly a good deal more knowledgeable than I was previously, thanks to all that provided excellent content here for me. I have been able to take advantage of three sources, local shops (only 2 near me in Central FL), local shows (very few, average one/month) and eBay.
For a while, I was picking up the players that I wanted as long as they were either RC logo year or prior. Now I am realizing that their cards notated “First Year” almost always the Bowman/Bowman Chrome issues are the ones highest in demand amongst base cards, running hand in hand with the Topps Update RC’s for those players. The ultimate jackpots seem to be the first year Bowman Chrome Refractor Autos. Some of the best ones seem to go for $1,000+

 The flip sums it up pretty well -- on paper, he's a tremendous prospect.

Guess it depends on your collecting goal. I just pick the card I find most appealing and try to stay away from the lotto-type cards. Probably my mistake as some of the cards I've not bothered with have skyrocketed.
In the late 70s-80s when I was buying tons of packs to bust I'd just stick the cards in a fail drawer by year and when a RC got hot, like the 1980 Henderson, I'd go into the drawer and see what I had.
