My run was similar to yours OP. Started maybe a year earlier. Bought a LOT of packs between 1986 and 1991. Sometimes a buddy and I would put our money together and split a wax box. Good memories and lots of worthless junk wax.
Stopped completely during high school and college, and then started up again buying an occasional pack in the early 2000’s. Honestly, I think was the relic cards (bat and jersey pieces in the cards) that got me interested again because I thought they were pretty cool.
Eventually relic cards got old, and then I got in to vintage around 2017.
