The only thing I would have done differently: I stopped collecting after 1984 and did not get back into it until 1990. I had been a set collector (which was easy with just Topps), but when I got back into it, I decided to start where I left off (1984) and get one set of each year up to current and then continue. Long story short; I ended up selling all my 1980 sets; I only now have Topps 1976-79, and refocused only on Padres team sets from 1980-85 and 1973-75, and then refocus also on my love of the 1950-52 Bowman baseball artwork cards, 1934-36 Diamond Stars, and T206.
Other than the 1980s sets, I pretty much collect what I've always collected. I try now to stay away from modern/current cards, too....
