Do you guys collect modern baseball cards as well?

How do I dump my 80s sets?

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.

If you’re on Long Island, the ocean would seem to be the best option.

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.

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.
