Seeing that there may be a clear ending soon, I may now go back and get all the sets 1991-2025 or whatever to complete the Topps run. Only base sets. I don't know, may be a waste of time as again, modern does not excite me at all. But I am still a collector.

the part of this that is unappealing to me is being able to just go buy a factory sealed set for less than $100. the thrill of putting together a vintage set is that you cant just go buy the whole thing cheaply. you can buy lots of late 50s/early 60s cards for $2-3 per card, but you'll get some ugly cards, which you then have to replace. slowly piecing together a set card by card, upgrading along the way, is the real fun in having complete sets, imo.
