I'll pick up a blaster box now and then just to rip something. I have some early 2000's stuff in my collection, mostly Pujols. Can't get behind the idea of throwing money at guys who haven't really proved anything yet. I don't care how good Tatis is, I'm spending 4K on vintage before I'd ever drop it on a "Super X Fractor, Diamond Cut, Limited Edition" version of Tatis.

I do have a Trout or 2 but pretty much stopped playing the "Kiddie Stockmarket" back in the 90s.

That's part of the beauty of being a HOF collector: All eras are represented. And you're NEVER finished!!

As a kid collecting in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s im there with you. I had no idea there was crap load of cards printed in those eras.

Some here and there. I like some of the later 1990s shiny special effects cards (Dufex foil, sign me up). I have always been a Peter Max fan so the 1996 Topps insert set he did is one I collected and finished



I also got into the 2019 Topps cards because I think the design was really nice. I find the parallels interesting.






I've also been buying sporadic Topps Now cards since they started



The Topps Project 2020 issue has been intriguing to me as well. I like pop art so some of the artists whose work has been featured in the set is right up my alley.

I don't enjoy the gambling aspect that has taken over the modern side of the hobby, so I collect some of the low end. Crack a box of Opening Day every year, collect some insert and auto sets I drooled over as a kid and teen but couldn't afford (2001 Fleer Greats for example). Some Heritage and Ginter, but mostly modern cards of not-modern players. There are some very nice images of the retired greats still being put out I have fun with.

I only pick up the new NYY players each yr. I don't understand the modern market.

Default Modern Cards

I collect Post Cereal and Jello cards. This includes newer Post Baseball and Hockey cards. I also build Detroit Tigers Team sets with newer cards, Topps Topps Allen & Ginter, Gypsy Queen and Heritage. Some Fleer, Bowman etc...

I am working on a 2012 Topps Gypsy Queen set. I bought some packs and just liked the design. With the variations and the largeness of the set it keeps me busy.
