"master" rookie sets?

With the (somewhat new) popularity of "pre-rookie" cards, should there be new rookie "Master" sets that include all of the regular rookie cards as well as pre-rookies? Ex: Greg Maddux...I think it would be neat to have all of his '87 cards, but also include cards such as his '86 Procards Pittsfield pre-rookie and any others he may have...thoughts?

    Not a player collector anymore but I really like this idea!

    I don't understand why only certain cards are allowed in master rookie sets?

    How can a 1989 OPC Randy Johnson "ROOKIE" not be included. It's a basic pack issued true rookie card and this is only 1 example.

    I requested this year's ago with no success, but, man, I'd love it.

    Maybe PSA would jump on board if they were called Prospect Master Sets.

    Great idea. I would be interested in seeing a few. I love minor league or xrc. Some cool ones in football for warren moon and Kurt Warner.

    I asked them about this about a year ago. The idea was shot down immediately. Not even a "we will consider it in the future".

    For some unknown reason, when they add the composition for a new Rookies set, the original composition is how it stays. You can't add any new items to the composition if you are a participant, unlike all the rest of the sets. This inconsistency does not make any sense, but it is the way it is.
