How many of you collect both post-war and modern?

I don't touch the new stuff.

I don't like that they're prefab collectibles that seemingly only change hands between collectors and not kids.

The artistry pales to that of their 50s counterparts, and I find little to respect or admire about the players themselves.

All this on top of being a lousy investment.

I stick with 50s and earlier.

I'm a little on the unusual side regarding what I collect- my main focus is pre-1960 but after that, I skip over the 60's, 70's- (although I am looking for a 72' Topps cloth Hank Aaron; shameless plug- if you have one for sale let me know

), 80's..and go right to 90's insert cards...no method to my madness, I just collect what I like.

Don't worry about touching it Brian. I don't think it is catching

I'm currently collecting mostly St. Louis Cardinals, so I buy everything from Pre WW2 to the present, although I will admit, I don't really know a whole lot about the stuff from the last 10 years.

But that doesn't stop me from buying David Freeze, John Jay or Jaime Garcia cards, especially when they are cheap.

I collect all of the above, but with the modern cards it mainly is factory sets of topps and a box or two of this and that each year. This is not because I dsilike the modern cards but because there are no more card shops anywhere near me. So slowly but surely I complete vintage sets and keep up to date with the modern sets.

If it doesn't fit in my bicycle spokes, I have no use for it.
