I voted no mostly because I just don't see the 90's and 50's mixing well.
Perhaps a midway cutoff?
1980 works as it's the year before expansion to 3 major companies.
1988 could work since it's the last year before UD raised the bar a bit.
or maybe 1991? Topps 40th and the last year of the old type cardboard.
1986-94 is almost it's own wasteland of overproduction. I collect it, not avidly but in the same "if it comes my way it gets sorted and filed" fashion I usually have. After that the first big washout began and things got a bit closer to normal.
And 81- 84 or 5 has more in common with the 70's than the rest of the 80's.
I'm glad it's not my decision to make.
