I have a near complete run of Mickey Mantle cards but recently got into more modern cards. I now have a run of Aaron Judge rookie/pre rookie cards and working on a run of Anthony Volpe rookie/prerookie cards. I generally avoid signed, relic, or other artificially scare cards of them, so mostly just have the junk base cards. And I’ve purposely limited myself to just buying from their rookie year and prior, given the vast number of cards produced each year. Will I ever see a return on my purchases? It’s highly unlikely. But, purchasing modern cards has led to a renewed interest in baseball and allowed me to purchase some cards when I’m pretty much priced out of Mantle. To each his own.
