Here's a thread of mine on blowout showing my only rainbow attempt. Did it mainly to see what all the fuss was about.

Yes, I still collect sets and Orioles of the modern cards, but still working back to complete vintage sets.

I mostly only do Braves autographed balls and other stuff now, but I DO try and add Bowman Chrome signed cards from guys I think will be our top prospects of the future.
As far as all the 5011 refractors and fake scarcity and all that, I think it's a bubble that is going to burst one day and leave a lot of people with cards they paid thousands for that are as worthless as the junk era.

No, and those darn kids should get off my lawn.

LOL, if those darn kids understood the time, cash, and responsibility it took to have a nice lawn they would stay off it. Unfortunately those things only come with age and experience, something the young can never have.

I love some of them...greatly dislike others. The amount of redundant, ridiculously high MSRP products that are out now just do nothing for me. I stick to a few boxes of Heritage and Bowman Draft/Chrome per year, maybe a box of Stadium Club then Series 1 and 2 Upper Deck Hockey and SP Authentic.
I'm a sucker for Refractors though, especially some of the earlier issues and the colored Heritage versions. My wife was in the living room with me while I was opening some Heritage last year and pulled a Bryce Harper Gold Refractor numbered to 5. I was thrilled, she dropped a Lisa Frank joke immediately and had me laughing for 10 minutes. |

My 2 cents.
I grew up collecting cards in the 70s and 80s. Collected all of the sets. Sold that collection when I had mouths to feed. I got back into collecting with hockey in 05-06 with my kids. I don't know how many packs we opened trying to get that damn Crosby young gun, which we never did. After 10 years of going through the whole game used jersey, autos, rcs, refractors, blue,green, on and on. I finally realized what a waste of time that was. I can't even look at all this new shiny stuff. But I'm old school anyway so I want anything old. Ok. So you have Leons simple answer, which I could have just agreed with. But I decided to ramble for a minute. |
