I collect vintage, but my five year old son is collecting modern (and focusing on Chase Utley). I had good vibes about Pujols awhile back and loaded up on a lot of his cards, everything from commons to graphs, game used, rookies, etc.
He and chase Utley are the two modern cards I collect. HOWEVER, I do crack open some modern boxes because since I was a kid, I did autograph collecting through the mail and still do. I use the modern cards for that side of my hobby.

My most recent card is 1965 and that's probably years too new.

Sorry - no shiny stuff for me. The "newest" cards that I collect are from 1979.

The modern side of the hobby is a huge part of my collection. I have an Adam LaRoche player collection, which (along with my prewar collections) can be found at www.adamlarochecollector.com. I take equal enjoyment adding an N172 as I do adding a Red Refractor numbered to 5.

According to people that I know who have met him, he sounds like one of the nicest guys in baseball.

Pujols birthday is listed: 1/16/80. Is it just me or does he look a little older than 30? I would be willing to bet that like Furcal he is one or two years older than that.
