I guess I'm not the supercollector I thought I was...
I recently watched this auction come and go, with no interest in bidding. I just think the card is ugly. Don't get me wrong, I would trade cards for it if someone had it, but I'm not spending my money on it. The printing plate itself is not bad. But the sticker they slapped on it? Horrendous. The printing plate is of a card that is signed on-card. Don't bother throwing the sticker on the plate, it just doesn't make sense. Let the plate be a plate. I have 100 Scott Sizemore cards, a handful of which I paid more for than this plate would have cost. Until a better looking plate or 1/1 comes along, I'll just continue by "all but the 1/1s" super collection.

I can't say I really understand the thinking on that either, at least not the haphazard way they went about it. As I've started supercollecting a couple players myself I've decided that I get to make the rules about what counts as a part of that collection, not someone else, so I think you're well within your rights to not include something like this. I'm also not the type to try to get all the 1/1s of a player anyway, I guess, but regardless, I'm with you in not including something like this. Ugh.
It's really hard to be a supercollector these days. I saw an article in a Beckett that said there were already hundreds of Mike Trout cards, 75% of which were serial numbered (don't quote me on these figures).
