I was in the Air Force in the 80's and 90's. I can remember that in the 1989-1991 era, there were at least 25 guys that I knew in my squadron that collected cards of some sort. Everyone was jumping in. By 1993-94, it was down to just a few. That's kind of the way it is now. So, I would say that the 1989-91 time span was the biggest - and not just baseball cards. Remember that sets like 1989 Score Football, Pro Set Football and Hockey, NBA Hoops and Fleer Basketball, and Upper Deck in all three sports were extremely popular.
