I consider myself a serious post war collector. I have a Topps set and pack run from 48 to 80, and Fleer set and pack run from 59 to 80 ( and there are a lot of 70s Fleer sets). But I have continued to collect Topps sets through 2012 and did Fleer to 2007. Additionally I have done all Topps insert and issued test sets through 1994 ( when The Great Proliferation really took off). I also do all the Topps Heritage sets and work on the older unissued test sets and listed or unlisted variations and errors to my sets. My only pre war foray is the 1923 Fleer set.
We have had a few post 1980 collectors in here and I think their stuff has been interesting. I am a little sad at the apparent disdain we seem to have for the modern collectors. I don't post much in the pre war section here myself because I fell a certain disdain from the folks over there about my "modern" collecting focus. I Think all that is too bad and not good for the hobby...and it is still just a hobby for me.
This is not the main Board I post on but I like it because there are several passionate collectors here who share their stuff and knowledge. Still, it is a little slow and dull at times. Maybe opening it up to newer collectors would cause some unwanted drama and add some immaturity, but I have seen some drama and immaturity from time to time both here and on pre war even without them.
Oh well...has anyone looked at the Topps 2012 3D cards. They are great. I got a set of those shiny things to put with my 1968 3D set
