Getting back into modern

[snider4prez]

It seems like there is a resurgence with us 80's and 90's kids buying the cards we always dreamed of having. I am in the same boat as you guys! I got the bug again.

I have been out of the hobby for 14 years but when I was in it I only collected pre-war and left all my childhood cards lay dormant. I am a Ken Griffey Jr collector. I have now been hunting down the cards I wanted like 1994 SP Holoviews, 1994 Flair Hot Glove's, and Topps Finest refractors. It is amazing how many great memories these cards have brought back. It's fun to be collecting again. If you like to watch pack rips and check out the new products come out you guys should check out JABS Family on YouTube. Lots of fun and he really inspired me to get back into collecting and starting my own YouTube channel which will be launching soon.

I look forward talk cards again,
Trevor Hocking

I’ve been watching the JABS family breaks for about a month now. Fun stuff.

14 years, has it really been that long, Trevor? Whew!

I've been steadily gravitating towards 1970s cards for some years since they are my childhood cards and are readily available in nice shape raw. In terms of modern, I like to go the National and spend some time in modern cards to see what I like and dislike. I favor the complex manufacturing of the late 1990s, especially Dufex parallel sets: Flair, Topps Stadium Club Matrix, Topps Gallery Players Private Issue, Fleer Ultra gold and platinum medallion, etc. You know, truly shiny crap. Some of which reliably sells in three figures now.
