What Am I Just Not Getting?

I highly doubt those cards soak off, and if they don't, with paper loss they are ruined to me. I don't collect that kind of cards. But to each his own. And I most certainly ended any desire for these when they began receiving frenzied bids for what to me is junk.

Although since my mother is a hoarder, she'll take it all.

I liked the idea of the '67 set and the difficult high numbers and all, but in reality found that I wasn't willing to pay $100 or north for players like Cookie Rojas, Norm Cash, or Mike Shannon. I had accumulated most of the stars and even the Seaver and Carew RC's - didn't mind paying up for those high numbers - but it was what I perceived as the ridiculous prices for the lesser names that stopped me on the set. I'm currently about halfway through 1972 Topps, which yes also has the high number issue - but not nearly as egregiously on the price.
