No point in defending my quest to own all 22 prints of a particular card; anymore than anyone should have to defend building a rainbow of a same player or collecting all cards out there of a particular. I'll have to remember when I see a rainbow to tell that congrats and I hope someday they recoup the money spent on that particular project!
Of course, my opinion and a quarter won't buy you anything
I agree on the 2nd paragraph.
A rainbow collection is different than a print run collection. Rainbow consist of different cards with different print runs and the particular collector only wants one copy of each, including 1/1's.
Collecting all cards out there of a particular (player, team or set) does not necessarily mean that the collector will pursue on acquiring all the print run available. For example, I am already content with acquiring a single copy of each and every card or item of Larry Bird in Basketball, Baseball, Multi-Sport, Action Figure, etc.
I honestly had a hard time comprehending your reply that is quoted above, simply because English is my 2nd language.

I would say it depends on supply and demand for what/whoever.

RE: Whats more desirable?
So far we have one guy that likes true rookies and one guy that prefers the parallels. I guess really its a case by case basis as the market values for Chrome certainly reflect a higher desire for lower #'ed parallels.
As for BV's, the more I learn about past sales and completed listings, the less I pay attention to them.

I am on the same boat based on your 2nd paragraph.
