Okay, so you’ve decided to get back into baseball card collecting. Maybe you started collecting when Topps was the only game in town. Maybe you picked up the hobby when Fleer or Donruss became popular. Maybe you were collecting from a few of these distributors when the then “flashy” Upper Deck company got into the game. Maybe you’re not getting back into baseball card collecting, but instead, are just starting out. Whatever it might be, congrats. You’re about to get into a great hobby at a great time.
Some people long for the days when Topps was all there was, you got gum in every wax pack, and you could collect and entire set with a couple box purchases. Well, there is certainly some nostalgia to those days. However, baseball card collecting today has many more options to let you enjoy the hobby. There are autographs and game-used uniform pieces to be found in packs today. You can find reedemable certificates. There are different versions of the same card. In a word there is variety. So congrats on your choice to start collecting (again, maybe.) Enjoy!
