I was born in 1970 so I experienced the "overflooding" as a teenager and remember friends buying box after box of Topps sets in the eighties for "collector value" and then when Upper Deck came out it was shitbox crazy! More unopened packs than OPENED packs. That completely turned me off of modern cards and shaped how I collect. I have no interest in any card made post-1952 unless it's a reprint set of an earlier release. I do LOVE baseball itself though and so do many people....I am sure Fantasy Baseball has helped the game become more popular nowadays.
