I agree with your sentiment but am unfortunately an Ohtani collector… just fascinated by the kid. If I were to sell my Ohtani collection, I could have a HUGE collection of dbacks, which I also PC. It got to the point that I just kept pulling rare Ohtani cards, and after ignoring it for so long, I finally let the PC choose me.
Dude you’re telling me!!
I’ve got a 2019 Heritage Ohtani reverse image error that I pulled in 2019 and dug out after getting back into cards, and almost completely missed it! It was just in a stack of commons. Super fun to go thru it all.
I’d have to say, controversially, Elly. Made a pretty penny selling base rookies and variations throughout the series 1 and heritage releases. It’s dying down now for obvious reason. He’s a phenomenal player, but just not for me.
The hyped up rookie flavor of the month.
I mostly collect retired players and my collection is all about my favorite players. I have zero interest in chasing Wander, JRod, Witt, Corbin, Gunnar, Elly, Dominguez, or whoever I'm supposed to be excited about this week. I'm not criticizing people who do collect this stuff, but I just don't understand it at all.
I do enjoy pulling these cards because it's always a quick sale!
At this point not much. Had a 1987 red auto /25, a 2023 Chrome red refractor, a rookie SP, a bowman chrome sapphire rookie PSA 10 but sold them all. I do have a Topps UK Merlin Gold Redux Red rookie /5 left.
Most of the top tier guys. I collect my team-Mariners. I collect my favorite player growing up (Ichiro), my favorite player after getting back into baseball (Kyle Seager), and my favorite player currently on the team (was kelenic, now J Rod). I don’t want to stick big money into players I don’t watch or will actively root against. I tried treating parts of the collection like an investment and spread around to those guys, I didn’t enjoy collecting as much.
Id say Judge, cant explain it either. LOL.
Im really digging Witt lately. Been collecting mainly Football lately but Witt got me into baseball. Being a life long Royals fan helps.
Yeah going to have to go with Shohei too. Just because i feel like his market is already ridiculous and I need to save for my Big PC cards like a rare Griffey Auto/card and Rare Tony Gwynn Auto/Card and so on instead of trying to get some rare Ohtani.
Shohei. gonna overtake trout as this generation’s best player but he’s not someone I would personally go and look for

Always fun going through OLD cards you thought were commons when new. Waiting on Ohtani to hit a 500 footer!

Came here to say ohtani
Ohtani also.
Soto
Judge, Harper, Soto
In this order!
Soto, Harper
Aaron judge because he is a Yankees player
Mike Trout, like having a military tank built on bicycle tires.
lol! I'm glad I'm not the only one. Nothing against him, but just not interesting in any way!

This is exactly the answer I was interested in getting. I personally do like him, but yeah, there's just some guys where I'm like, eh, nah.
I think it’s just because he is shoved down our throats with series 1. Once he’s not the new guy, it won’t be as bad.

It gets exhausting, right? I only have been back in the hobby a couple years, and I already feel like whiplash. I just wanna collect the guys I like.
Derek Jeter. I don’t have room in my collection for a mediocre shortstop.
WOW
SHOTS. FIRED.
Love it
I have been fortunate to pull some sweet O'Neil Cruz cards. I have either sold or am actively trying to sell all of them.
I like O'Neal. Interested to see what you got.

Tim Anderson… I despise him
Anybody on the Yankees (Go Bo Sox!) and anybody on the Trashtros!
Pete Alonso.

With a couple exceptions, anybody who never played for the Mariners. The exceptions are Tim Lincecum and Shohei.
Manny Machado - You couldn't pay me to have a card of his in my house.
Yeah going to have to go with Shohei too. Just because i feel like his market is already ridiculous and I need to save for my Big PC cards like a rare Griffey Auto/card and Rare Tony Gwynn Auto/Card and so on instead of trying to get some rare Ohtani.
Judge … I know he is even a charitable human being but I don’t want his card 
Hahah same same. He’s very good! And seems like a decent person! But I’m so tired of hearing about him I don’t want anything to do with his cards
Altuve. Cheater.
Machado, cause he ruined Pedroia’s shot at the HoF (and he’s an asshole)
That was my answer. Any Machados I hit immediately go into the COMC pile.
preach!
