My 14-year-old son mixes it up -- he'll buy singles of his favorite teams/players, then occasionally buy a box hoping to make a hit. He usually pulls something he knows he can sell on eBay to make his money back ... then do it all over again next time. No interest in vintage yet -- but I didn't at his age either.

I'm personally amazed how well things are holding up for ultra-modern releases considering the cost of the buy-in.
It's been gambling for a long time. Hell, you can't economically put together a base set from packs for at least 10-15 years. There's the hardcore boutique products that bring many 100s to 1000s per box as a suggested retail price. No matter what one thinks of this state of the hobby, it exists and it's thriving. Myself, I'm out here buying singles. I don't have the appetite for the gamble at the buy-in price.
