Do you guys collect modern baseball cards as well?

[todeen]

I collect limited modern. I'm a Reds collector, of every era. I also am trying to get my 7 year old into card collecting and baseball. I'm not introducing my son to packs. Instead I bought him the Topps complete set.

As for myself, I collect junk era superstars - Griffey, Jeter, Larkin, Ripken, etc. Those are affordable. More recently I bought a Bowman Chrome Trout RC, and a couple Kyle Lewis RCs (I live in WA)

I do like the Panini auto/relic booklets. I think they display nicely. I have only bought one - Ted Kluszewski auto/relic combo.

But mostly, I like memorabilia!

Pre 1975 for me.....

I collect Cleveland Indians, Naps, Bronchos, Blues - basically Cleveland baseball cards 1901 to present. I'm trying to find the earliest card or collectible I can of each player, coach, manager, general manager and owner ever associated with the team. I am as excited to pick up the latest Topps card of a new player as I am to add a pre-war player to my collection. Fully a third of the roster does not have a contemporary card, so I have expanded my list of eligible items to include press photos, publicity photos, publications, etc. My main criteria are that the card or collectible should depict the subject by himself, in a Cleveland uniform, or otherwise clearly connected with the team. Here's a photo of some 2020 pickups mixing old and new together

Prewar and Chicago Cubs. Have completed set of Topps Cubs from 1951 to current including errors and variations. All Topps regular and update sets.

No. Most “modern” card I have is a 1927 Exhibits Gehrig

Admitting to collecting modern on the main sub here is tantamount to admitting you like 80's hair band music. Although I must confess to picking up a 2020 blue foil Mays.

I have recently thought about buying Reds Topps sets. I like that there is someone else already doing this. For the Reds, they have their Kahns SGA set, and I'm thinking of grabbing that in addition to the standard Topps set.

I do collect both modern baseball and basketball to go along with my vintage tastes, but I've got a pretty strict set of guidelines. Usually it's just guys with a connection to Memphis. No sticker autos and no jersey/memorabilia pieces. And I've got a soft spot for star player RCs and some 90s/00s inserts.

I always just collected the most current issues starting when I was a kid (72) thru the time I started a family (mid 90's).

I restarted collecting current issues back in '09 when the kids became more independent - that's when I happened upon net54 and became hooked on pre-war.

I was strictly pre-war for a few years, then jumped back on this side of the war as well when I decided to expand my pre-war gatherings and build a well rounded collection representing 1900 thru 1999.

as we know, card issues exploded in the 90's, so my 90's collection became focused on a Barry Larkin type set. I amassed about 1300 different Larkins (representing his playing days).

also started two 90's sets autographed. (94 pinnacle & 95 ud cc se)

Those were the last two real forays I made into modern.

I picked up some packs and boxes from target over the last few years, but fortunately for my wallet and closet space, they didn't stick.

Been selling things off the last two years across the entire 20th century, and I think I've enjoyed that as much as I did collecting them in the first place. most of the cards I collected in the actual 90's are practically worthless, but I have a soft spot for them, and it's been alot of fun sorting through them again, weeding out the keepers, and patiently selling those that didn't make the cut for a few cents net to me after fees, postage, envelope.

I just like cards

How do I dump my 80s sets?
