I collected as a kid in the 80s and 90s.  As an adult, I made the mistake of getting rid of everything and then regretting it almost immediately.  I started from scratch and have a collection that may not be the most expensive, but it is meaningful.  I stopped in 2020 when collectors came out of the woodwork with tons of money and, in my opinion, completely destroyed the hobby for people like me.  I recently had an itch to get back in, but I am more of a $10 here, $10 there guy.  I don't make very big purchases and the hobby has so many cards it's hard to see where the value is.  I'm not paying $9 a pack for four cards (ahem, Topps Chrome).  I miss it somedays, but I know what it's like to get sucked in too deep.  However, I am beginning to focus on Vintage.  Dabbling into a lot of sets here and there, just to get some players.  I have begun a 1980 set and would love to put together a 73 set.

 

I love the Astros and always have a soft spot for guys I grew up on.  Glavine, Ripken, Gary Carter, the 86 Mets.
