What would it take to collect modern cards again?

[rdixon1208]

I like to buy a few packs here and there. I'll even build a set every once in a while. But when I open up a new pack of cards now it's not much different than it was when I was a kid. I just want to get my favorite players. Or maybe an up and coming rookie.

I don't care how many there are. I don't care what they're worth, or what they'll be worth down the road. I don't collect them as an investment. I just like baseball, and I like baseball cards.

My Topps set and pack run goes 1948 to 2011 so I still collect the modern stuff. I never reeally stopped collecting since a kid.

I also enjoy putting together the Topps Heritage sets in master form.

It has always been and still is just a hobby for me, though I did become a little obsessed with the Topps insert and test issues, both issued and not. But, my pursuits have never involved any money my family will ever need, so that I could be sure it would remain just a hobby

The Pirates winning in all,the return of wool uniforms and less teams in the major leagues. I would start to buy modern when these demands are met.
