Some time when rookies are picked to highlight sets, they work out pretty well. Alex has been in the bigs for a decade, and though it has been with a few teams, has seen plenty of full seasons and success.
What can I say, sometimes they get one right - a nice change from those players that make it for a game or two and that's it.

A good assortment of keepers between the four sets.

I actually like getting cards of the oddball guys more than the mainstream players. Of course, my main project is getting everyone who ever had a card represented more than chasing superstars, so maybe it's me.
