O/T ..Do You Collect Cards From 2000 to Present?

[Cmvorce]

I buy the Topps flagship factory set and a hand collated Topps Update set every year. Glad I do - that practice got me my 2011 Trout.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

Ive got several LeBron James and Luca Doncic cards. Bought David Ortiz rookie year cards from the late 90's. I try to pick up the occasional generational talent's cards. I don't "collect" the modern stuff though in the true sense of the term.

[Eggoman]

NOPE! I would struggle to even identify most cards after 1992...

...AND I DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!

[Jim65]

I collect Topps Heritage Mets.

[parkerj33]

Yes, Topps Heritage...Full Master runs including refractors and all HOF autos.

I voted yes but wouldn’t say I actively collect it. I buy occasional packs to open with kids and buy the occasional key rookies of modern players I like but on a very limited basis. 99% of hobby $ goes to vintage/pre war.

[jchcollins]

I occasionally add some modern Cubs for a diversion, but 95% of what I do is vintage. I also like the Topps Archives type things, and "cards that never were" creations. They don't scratch the itch like real vintage cards, but can be a nice and super cheap alternative when you are bored and sick of spending real money.

You're missing a hell of a game if you don't dabble in modern. The modern sets (some) offer beautiful artwork and designs and great pictures of great players.
I am by no means a fan of modern cards but I'd not consider my collection to be complete without a nice Ichiro or Kershaw card, or other HOFers from the era. i try to get them signed:





I too will pick up RCs of guys I think have chance at the HOF. I picked up a couple of Buster Posey RCs last year because his numbers are better than several HOF catchers and they sell for very little.



I'll even pick up some of the modern art cards if I like the way they look:

Some post 2000.

When I returned to collecting after a 20-year hiatus in 2012 I began collecting Topps Heritage, Allen & Ginter, 2007-2009 Goudey, UD 2003 Play Ball, and some other miscellaneous Topps sets. In late 2009 I rediscovered vintage cards and now virtually all of my post-2000 cards are gone. I still have a few Heritage cards and the UD Play Ball sets for sale. I am keeping the Heritage card sets given out at the National Convention and the Heritage 3 card panels, however, because I like them.

Working on a 1970 Topps Baseball set
Would like to add the 1969 Topps Stamps, 1970 Posters and Scratch-offs, 1971 Coins, 1973, and 1974 Topps Baseball card sets to the collection
Upgrade my 1953 Bowman Color, 1971, 72, and 75 sets.

My OLDER brother is 63 and he STILL collects Modern, but NOT vintage. I DO appreciate some of the Modern stuff, but I HATE the contrived rarities and scarcities, etc.

I'm happy to stay in my pre-War lane...

Just saying...

[JimC]

Yes for me, but for post-80s I just collect cards of players I like, not type cards, sets, etc. I don't tend to spend very much on modern either.

[pitchernut]

Only because I collect RC's of no-no pitchers. But I'm about done with it....

[mark evans]

Off the top of my head, very few. But, I certainly respect others who feel differently.

[toledo_mudhen]

a couple Ohtani, Trout and Suzuki - and somehow I have become interested in Detroit's Miguel Cabrera - Other than that I'm pretty much Mid 50s and T206
