O/T ..Do You Collect Cards From 2000 to Present?

Yes vote for me.

Collecting modern Topps sets and then working my way backwards is what has brought me to vintage collecting as well.

Pretty much my entire collection is post-2000. I quit collecting for a long time and got rid of everything. I then picked it up again in 2002/2003 - but switched from baseball to football. Collected for a couple years at that time and then dropped it again. Those cards I still have. I've dipped my toe into the waters again this year. Am a little dismayed by the extreme cost of unopened product but am still able to find things I want here and there.

I collect some modern because I still love to open packs, but it's probably the biggest "waste of money" part of my collecting habit. I do like to pick up auto cards of some favorite current players. Buying Tom Brady stuff in the early 2000's has certainly helped mitigate any modern losses.

If there is a box of cards at the register, I will pop for a few packs, but that is a rare day. I do collect the 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game Autograph cards subset. I am down to 2-3 cards to complete the set. For the sheer volume of hall of fame players that set is tough to beat. Just his past year, while looking for a certain player, I came across the Upper Deck SP Legendary Cuts subset. I just like the look of the card and have picked up some of the cards.

To my way of thinking the question is too black and white.

I answered no to the poll because I do not specifically collect anything post 2000, but I do HAVE things from post 2000. I buy a box of packs every spring to reenact my youth (sans the gum, of course).

I collect specific sets I like; usually those featuring old-timers because I've tuned out from the modern game entirely the last couple years. There are some really cool looking base that are basically worthless (a sweet spot if one is a collector and not an investor), and some of the specific sets I collect the inserts and auto's too. 2001 Fleer Greats of the Game is one of my favorite card sets of all time.

That set is amazing. Soooooo many top players.
