As a late 30's collector, I just focus on what makes me happy. Usually that is 1986 Topps. Almost all of the 1980's Topps sets cause some sort of visceral reaction in me, rooted in childhood memories. They aren't the most valuable sets, they aren't the nicest looking sets, and they had none of the "valuable" inserts or parallel sets- but they were fun to collect, and still are. I keep stashes of unopened 1986 Topps baseball around and open then a pack or two at a time, over a period of months. And yes, I keep the cards and sort them, make a checklist, and work towards completing my set- just like I did 29 years ago. It just makes it fun. I could not care less about more modern cards.
