How Many of Us Vintage Collectors Buy New Cards

[Jantz]

I grab a few packs every now & then, mostly of the older looking cards like Topps Heritage or Goudey.

In 2009 I stopped by a local shop and had the shop owner grab me two packs of Goudey off the shelf to buy and ended up getting a original 1933 Goudey in one of the packs. I thought it was kinda neat getting the Goudey original since its the first one I've ever owned.

I buy a case of Topps Heritage every year. It's fun to open and since the cards are worth so little you end up sending lots of doubles to friends to finish their sets.

I don't buy packs, boxes, or sets of modern issues. I do, however, have a modern player collection of Adam LaRoche (http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q...dam%20LaRoche/.) Towards the end of the month, I plan on launching adamlarochecollector.com

Yep. I thought it was going to be one of those everybody got one deal till I redemed it and the wife called and told me she got the card in the mail and what it was. I about fell over.

Used to buy the new rookie card sets (draft pick/future prospects etc) just to have any future no-no, 20 game winner, Cy young winner etc. But now just buy the individual rc. It's kind of funny because now when I go to the local card shop, he usually has the rc I'm looking for all ready to go

Dude, that is seriously awesome! I mean, granted, it's not vintage, but the secondary market on that card is hot....for some reason, his stuff sells like crazy lol

Super lucky!

I've been active in the hobby since 1972 and am happy to say that I enjoy my modern Topps Heritage cards as much as I do my old Rose Co. baseball postcards. Depends on the day and the mood - that's the beauty of our hobby.

I buy several packs of the retro sets each year so I have something to get signed when I got to the ballpark and spring training.
