What was the last baseball card?

Trout's "true" rookie. He's only the best player of his generation, one of the best ever already, and could easily end up the best ever. Who could ever find enjoyment in collecting his cards....

1981 ended it for me. Topps cards were ugly and cheap looking - for the third year in a row I thought. Plus, I bought two boxes and wasn't even close to a complete set, which seemed on purpose. And, I wanted no part of Fleer or Donruss.

So for me, my last card is a 1978 Burger King Detroit Tiger. Those are the last new cards I HAD to have.

It's just hype by Topps and Panini to sell cards.

You mean the overabundance of products? Of course, they're businesses I would expect them to hype things up to stay in business. I don't collect as much modern as I used to but I still find enjoyment in great cards of my favorite guys or of a legend like Trout.
