  I love old-timers (probably because I am old) but Rabbit Maranville should not be in the HOF.

Pretty funny comment about Carruth. I have only had a few 1/1 cards in my life that I pulled from a pack. One of them happens to be a Carruth Masterpiece. I have kept it all these years. I think it is from around 97 or 98. Carruth is from Sacramento where I am from so I know his story. I kept it despite his story and the fact it was a 1/1. I always figured it would not go for much anyway . Too bad he went so wrong. Other than round cards which look funny in toploaders I would say this would be my least prized card.      

I would have to say.   The 1991 Upper Deck Football.   With the 3 different Holograms on the back.   (90,  91,  92) The reason is they are so hard to tell apart plus some cards you can not see any hologram on them.

Then the other Var.    But I keep picking them up when I can.

For me, it's probably 2 things. As a set collector one thing I now despise are those numbered cards in a set. Whether it's an auto, relic, or even a sp it's very difficult to complete the set. Second is a player. Now this is just me but I don't like Barry Bonds. Reading stories years ago and how he treated some young fans ticked me off. When you refuse to sign a card for a young fan and make him cry because you think he's going to sell it on ebay, that did it for me.

I have a few I don't like...

Kellen Winslow Jr Bucs cards. 

2020 Optic Xs and Os Tom Brady/Lavonte David. I super collect Lavonte and I can't get my hands on these cards because of Brady. I'm not shelling out Brady prices for my Lavonte collection. I'm hoping over time I may get some cheaper but right now it ridiculous. 

Bucs Mini cards/oversized cards/coins - I keep my collection of Bucs stuff in 5,000 count card boxes. Oversized don't fit and mini/coins are a pain to keep track of in the boxes. 

I have a collection of a card from every player since 1960. I have a strong preference for a "major" release as they are usually easier and cheper to get.

And Dirk Hayhurst's only major release is an Allen & Ginter where he's wearing a moose costume. I absolutely hate that card, hate it even more since it's in my collection.

That is so terribly awesome. I don't know whether to love it or hate it! 

I have to agree with twfurey.  To quote a caller on a radio show, "Make the world a better place, punch Alex Rodriguez in the face."  With a folding chair.

if I remember the cards I haven't catalogued yet, I have several rookies of him.  I feel like they aren't worth the cardboard...
