(This is going to be an ongoing series, where he lists off three players he’s growing on and three players he’s liking less than he did before.I share the list of the top-11 baseball players whose rookie cards have been clicked on the most in the past 30 days from my Best Rookie Cards From Every Topps Baseball Set From Every Year article.
