Question for the modern baseball collector

RavensFan

As I get more and more into the hobby, I have decided to collect some of the modern baseball superstars. Right now, I want to focus on a couple in PSA 10. I was wondering what the best card is to collect for each of the following players:

1) Josh Hamilton

2) Albert Pujols

3) Joey Votto

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Thank you ThoseBackPages!!! I think I need to rephrase this question. What specific PSA Registry cards should I look for in putting together a set of these superstars? Those are pretty costly and out of my ballpark. I need to lower my standards, I think.

1) 1999 Topps Traded Auto
2) 2001 SP Authentic ?
3) ?

i hear you.

yes, for Pujols and the Registry, SPA is "the one". i prefer his Bowman regular, as it is a tough black bordered paper card. Also like his Topps RC as well as his UD RC

for Votto, he was only in 2002 Bowman Draft. He has the Paper Base, The Base Chrome, the Chrome Refractor (/300), XFractor (/150) and Gold Refractor (/50) so slim pickings there.
