I know in the beta I was pretty stoked to pull pretty much every all-time great Yankee (except for Ruth), but I usually didn't keep them on my active roster long, if at all, because I could get someone better. But I still liked that I got them.
I snap-purchased the first Ichiro Rookie card in the AH I could afford for the 500 PP Buy It Now price. Overpayed? Almost certainly. Irrational? Yes. Do I care? No.

His rookie season is the reason I love baseball, so he's my RF, and I wanted the first copy I could get. The rest of the team can come later .
