The Hall of Fame project requires modern Hall of Famers' RCs. I also have a huge Jim Thome PC, and collect Cleveland Indians occasionally.

I voted yes.

I mostly just stash a few unopened boxes every year and occasionally rip a few as I still enjoy opened packs. I definitely stash more boxes than I open though.

I must be old - nookie used to be something completely different.
I bought a 2000 set since it’s my youngest son’s birth year, but I really have no interest in anything after 1970.

Exactly as above but mostly hockey players Young Gun's cards or similar from other manu's. (RC's)

I have a few post 2000 baseball cards that were purchased, and have only ripped an occasional hockey pack here and there when I can find them.

I will pick up some rookies opportunistically. It sometimes pays off (Trout) and sometimes doesn't (Cano). I also bust packs and boxes occasionally if I like the set. Besides the 2020 Heritage (1971 Topps, which I love) the only one I've really done much with is 2019 Topps, which I think is a really nice design. I bought and busted a lot of Walgreens retail boxes for the yellow bordered inserts. Base modern cards are basically a waste of money compared to the box break costs but are very attractive cards:

2020 Heritage Trout cards (L-R: action variation, purple bordered refractor, base card)



2020 Heritage Greatest Moments (hobby box topper) Bryce Harper:



2020 Topps Heritage Super (hobby box topper) Ohtani:



2019 Topps Kershaw Holiday variation:



2002 Donruss DK Originals Jeter:



2016 Topps Now Ichiro:



2014 Panini Golden Age Bad News Bears:



Topps Project 2020 cards:

Topps Project 2020 cards:
My internal conflict is if I spend $xyz for modern, what can't I get vintage or pre-war.

I agree with Exhibitman, if you don't want to rip packs or buy sets, go online to Topps and pick up some of the individual cards online. The Topps Living Set has some great artwork, and you only have to buy players you're interested in. Topps Now has cars commemorating achievements, some auto'd. Occasionally the set Throwback Thursday has some nice designs too. I never feel like I've wasted money on Topps online product like when I buy modern packs.

And like other collectors, since I'm a Reds team collector, my collection wouldn't be complete without modern stars. I buy Larkin and Votto primarily, but I must admit I got caught up with Jonathan India when it appeared he had a real chance to win ROY.

I used to collect Topps & Bowman & their side issues, up to 2000. Looking back, I wished I had spent that $$ on T206 HOF or rare backs.

I'm very surprised how close this Poll is, considering it's a Vintage page.

I collect the newer Rangers, and also have a few Astros as far as collecting. But I have lots and lots of modern stuff simply because I buy collections and most are of modern cards. However, I dont' keep much of the modern stuff outside of Astros and Rangers (I run a booth at an antique store, and I sell Rangers and Astros in there). I bust packs to build a Topps Flagship set every year (Series 1, 2 and Update) then try and trade off any extras for Rangers or Astros I don't have or put them into my piles/boxes of stuff to sale. Pretty much everything modern I pick up (outside of Rangers and a few Astros) in collections will go into my piles of stuff to sale (inserts, colors, SPs sorted by team, and base, no matter if RCs or other, sorted by brand).

Yeah, I see your point, but at the end of the day, all of us on Net54 are card collectors. Most of us probably PREFER vintage, but that doesn't mean it's not ALSO fun to rip open some packs, or buy cards of guys we can currently watch in person and on TV.

I'll bet some of those said they don't buy modern cards probably secretly still open a pack or two. They just don't want to admit to owning the "shiny stuff"

I buy random Pittsburgh Pirates cards, but almost everything is a throwback design. I have bought all of the Pirates in the Living Set, but I have no other Living Set cards.

Agreed. I have nothing post 1990, and I've contemplated moving late 80's stuff just to lighten the load. I wouldn't even know where to start to collect modern.
