What was the last baseball card?

The 67 Banks is my 'newest' favorite card.

While I like prewar, I'm getting close to having everything I can reasonably obtain...Usually what happens is that I get a substantial lot of a set I find interesting and build it out. 1941 Playballs were the last one I did.

Working on 1950s, probably a mid-grade Kaline in my next target, still working on my birth year set, 1961...probalby will have it finished within the year, but the last card I bought was a Trout auto this morning.

There are a lot of good players today and the game is still interesting to me, so the cards are still interesting to me. Yeah, I wish it wasn't so homer-cyntric, but it will change soon enough. The Royal won the World Series just three years ago and they had a team that is completely different than the top teams today.

For me it was the early 1990's when more and more sets were coming out each year and the designs were lacking. Then I picked it up again around 2000 when I got into vintage and prewar. I don't know much about modern cards any more. I do occasionally buy some game used/auto cards of players that I like. I think some of those are cool looking and fun to collect. But if I'm going to spend real money on a card it's going to be vintage or prewar.

While I primarily collect vintage I do have a few modern cards, and have even broken open a few modern packs or boxes and participated in a few of those online group breaks. But for the most part my collection ends with the 89 UD Griffey as well.

One of my favorite cards is a Favre / Rodgers dual on card auto. Doesn't get much better for a Packer Fan.

I consider 1972 to be the last great card issue so that would be #787 Ron Reed.

1989 Upper Deck was the last I bought packs. Couldn't believe they were $1.00 per pack what the hell.. Basketball was just starting to get hot. Too bad I missed out on the 86 Fleer which sat right next to the "Hotter" Baseball. Could have had all I wanted..

I agree 1972 is the last great card issue, although for me, the official end came in 1974 when all the cards came out on opening day. It was such a let-down. I started collecting vintage, went to my first card show, and never looked back.
