I don't care about rookie cards. At all. When I look at my collection and I see Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Collins, Young, Johnson, Mathewson, etc. I don't care that they aren't rookie cards. I think "Man, I have a card of this amazing player from his playing days!" I have no desire to pay amazing prices for a rookie card, when I can get a card from the following year or soon thereafter for a fraction of the cost.

Never really loved most strip cards or black and white cards. For more popular modern stuff, I agree with the people who don't like the Rose rookie. The 53 Topps Mantle is another I never liked.

I've never had a desire to have a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. And I like 1950s cards and had his 51 Bowman.

Doesn't have the mystique for me that it has for others.

+1 for vintage cards.

But RC just has a certain electricity when you have the chance to buy one. I have a 93 Topps Jeter. But I've got the hots for the 93 SP.

Not all rookie cards feel the same...thats fer sure! I've never owned a topps MAntle RC...I imagine it'd feel a little more special than most. Whereas I used to have the 51 bowman and it didn't really have that feel...I think partially because the berk ross has similar pose. Not unique like topps. Ryan/Koosman and Seaver rookies feel special to me...but most multi player cards do not.

Interesting point about the Ryan and Seaver rookies. Over the years, I have been conflicted over both. While I still do not own either, I have recently added them to my want list. I see them as products of their era. They both scream 60s to me.

Regarding the '52 Mantle, I have accepted the fact that I will probably never own one, but that doesn't mean that I don't aspire to own one. I love its look. In fact, I love that entire set. However, with the exception of Jackie, I don't own one single card from that set. This may sound sappy, but I am a set builder who loves the look of '52 Topps, and it is just plain painful to me to own cards from that set with the knowledge that I will never be able to complete it.

The only card in either set which I care to own (from the BST). And definitely not a fan of the 1040 set..

1963 Pete Rose. Even though it is his rookie card, the floating heads are always so ugly. And he has to share the spotlight with 3 other guys.

I think we all have certain players that are real popular but do nothing for us.

For me, its Ty Cobb and Hank Aaron, for whatever reason, their cards just don't interest me at all.

1948 Leaf. Any of them. I don't like the skip numbering of them, the random player selection or the design of them.

Plus they're overpriced.
