Questions About "Modern" Cards
1) Is anyone trying to collect sets of anything "modern," as in post-1980 or so?
2) If we say that cards at the National were 75% modern as opposed to vintage, to pick a number, what are they? Insert cards from the 90s onward, rookie cards of modern and current stars, etc.?
3) Pretty much by definition, it strikes me that anything scarce in the modern category is a result of artificial rarity created by the manufacturers. Is this what all these dealers and flippers are at the National and other shows selling and in search of? Are there any actual collectors of these cards to speak of?
Any other observations re the modern side of the hobby would be helpful for my understanding of it, and welcome. Thank you.
