How this list is ranked

Collector interest is how many people looked each player up on Wikipedia: the last 30 days for the ranking, the last 7 against the 7 before for the weekly change. It measures attention, not what any card sells for, and Parlae prints no card values. A key rookie card is picked by the criteria printed on each player's card page, from his sourced checklist.
