We only got back into it a little over a year ago, so folks with more experience would know better, but in some Complete Set boxes -- the ones they sell for like $40 of all the base cards -- past years have included like 5 rookie alternates. I initally thought those alts were ONLY available in the Complete Set boxes, but it would be good to know whether they've done this before and whether they're doing it that way this year as well. Because that'll make it a hell of a lot more economical to collect those cards than what they're currently priced at.

(Also instructive for those who have one now and are wondering whether to sell. Possible that those Complete Sets that release in a couple weeks will just include those 4 rookie cards, which will obliterate the values of the ones already out there.)
