I bought a 2000 set since it’s my youngest son’s birth year, but I really have no interest in anything after 1970.

I'd buy a box/pack or two every so often in the early '00s to open up, really no complete sets to work on though. Stuff like Topps Allen & Ginter, or SP Legendary. Think the most recent post 2000 card I'd specifically purchased was a raw, 2012 autographed Bowman Sterling rookie/prospect card of Frankie Lindor. Wish he would have stayed with Cleveland.
I do have a collection going of all the autographed and game used cards from the 2002 Topps 206, and the 2003 Topps 205 sets. In fact, I'm only shy a single game used card from the 206 set, and I'll have that one complete. Been looking for that last card since 2002, but only seen one for sale in all that time, but asking a ridiculous BIN price no one in their right mind would ever pay. And the Topps 206 and Topps 205 set buyback cards are pretty cool as well.

I have a few post 2000 baseball cards that were purchased, and have only ripped an occasional hockey pack here and there when I can find them.

I will pick up some rookies opportunistically. It sometimes pays off (Trout) and sometimes doesn't (Cano). I also bust packs and boxes occasionally if I like the set. Besides the 2020 Heritage (1971 Topps, which I love) the only one I've really done much with is 2019 Topps, which I think is a really nice design. I bought and busted a lot of Walgreens retail boxes for the yellow bordered inserts. Base modern cards are basically a waste of money compared to the box break costs but are very attractive cards:
2020 Heritage Trout cards (L-R: action variation, purple bordered refractor, base card)  2020 Heritage Greatest Moments (hobby box topper) Bryce Harper:  2020 Topps Heritage Super (hobby box topper) Ohtani:  2019 Topps Kershaw Holiday variation:  2002 Donruss DK Originals Jeter:  2016 Topps Now Ichiro:  2014 Panini Golden Age Bad News Bears:  Topps Project 2020 cards:

I agree with Exhibitman, if you don't want to rip packs or buy sets, go online to Topps and pick up some of the individual cards online. The Topps Living Set has some great artwork, and you only have to buy players you're interested in. Topps Now has cars commemorating achievements, some auto'd. Occasionally the set Throwback Thursday has some nice designs too. I never feel like I've wasted money on Topps online product like when I buy modern packs. And like other collectors, since I'm a Reds team collector, my collection wouldn't be complete without modern stars. I buy Larkin and Votto primarily, but I must admit I got caught up with Jonathan India when it appeared he had a real chance to win ROY. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I used to collect Topps & Bowman & their side issues, up to 2000. Looking back, I wished I had spent that $$ on T206 HOF or rare backs.
I'm very surprised how close this Poll is, considering it's a Vintage page.

I collect the newer Rangers, and also have a few Astros as far as collecting. But I have lots and lots of modern stuff simply because I buy collections and most are of modern cards. However, I dont' keep much of the modern stuff outside of Astros and Rangers (I run a booth at an antique store, and I sell Rangers and Astros in there). I bust packs to build a Topps Flagship set every year (Series 1, 2 and Update) then try and trade off any extras for Rangers or Astros I don't have or put them into my piles/boxes of stuff to sale. Pretty much everything modern I pick up (outside of Rangers and a few Astros) in collections will go into my piles of stuff to sale (inserts, colors, SPs sorted by team, and base, no matter if RCs or other, sorted by brand).

I'll bet some of those said they don't buy modern cards probably secretly still open a pack or two. They just don't want to admit to owning the "shiny stuff"

I buy random Pittsburgh Pirates cards, but almost everything is a throwback design. I have bought all of the Pirates in the Living Set, but I have no other Living Set cards.

I voted no. I may have a base Altuve that I paid $1 for, but that's about it.
I consider post 1980's card collecting to be a completely different hobby, like concert posters or Welcome Back, Kotter lunch boxes.
