I do live in both worlds. I am an amateur historian of sorts of my favorite teams, Cubs and Angels, so I collect both vintage and modern. In fact, 2018 Topps Heritage was what really brought me back into the hobby after a long hiatus. Kind of a good bridge between old and new, which was the appeal for me. I try not to get too caught up in the gambling or prospecting aspect of modern. I mostly just stay focused on acquiring singles of my two teams, especially Mike Trout. Heritage is the only exception, where I will dive into a case just so I can have something to rip once in a while.
