JR --
A lot of people around here disdain the "shiny new stuff", but there are some really nice-looking set being put out now. I really only actively collect pre-1920 cards plus a few Topps sets from the 60s and 70s, but I've occasionally bought a few packs of current cards to see what's out there. I agree that you shouldn't collect anything, either old or new, with an expectation of making a profit; collect it because you enjoy it. Keep buying packs of new stuff to see what strikes your fancy, if anything, and some older stuff if you want to. You can buy unopened backs or boxes of cards from the late 80s and early 90s very cheap, and if it's fun for you to open them, go for it! And if you're going to hang around here, maybe get a few vintage cards to see how you like them.
