As my pre-war interest begins to wane, due to lack of availability of what I collect or cost, I move forward in time.
Right now I'm working on a 53 Topps set and need six cards to re-complete my 59 Topps set. I have the collector gene so there will always be an interest in collecting something be it pre-war, post-war, non-sports, or whatever.

I dabble in both
pre-war helps me understand the history. Post-war, some of the shiny stuff gets me excited about Phillies prospects, and in the general post-war, there are some really cool esoteric Topps test issuues that are fun for a Phillies collector. [Topps Comics, Candy Lids, etc.]

Exclusively pre-WW3
Main interest now is pre-WW1 baseball but have a number of 30's and '50's BB, football and hockey sets, even some early Upper Deck sets and will occasionally bust a pack of one of the various heritage sets just for old time's sake. Also collect Mutoscope girlie cards and random non-sports stuff that tickles my fancy.

Main interest is Pre-War mostly between years 1909-1935 ish. I just really like the issues during these years and so many of the all time greats carears span this time-frame.
Occasionally I find myself buying a shiny card to two. I keep those now exclusively to RC's, usually signed RC's, of good young players in the game now (Especially Yankee prospects). However, I'm also really trying to cut down on these buys too. I also will occasionally buy a RC of an 60's 70's 80's or 90's player or old Mickey Mantle for cheap if I want one. I don't really make any rules for myself. Definatley collecting what you like is the best way to go.... I am always trending towards more and more prewar exclusivity though with the occasional sidetrack purchase.... Nothing beats the old stuff (I'm currently taking a needed break from collecting but feel the itch starting to creep back. It's been a bad year for the farms in the NorthEast so far. I haven't had time for much else but work lately.....Probably by September I'll be back in full swing.) Still no luck on the D381's

My cut off is 1980
Anything after that I have but don't actively collect. Just didn't seem right to throw them away. I actively collect some 1970s sets, oddball postwar stuff, and key players from various 1950s-1960s sets.
