I truely truely miss those days.
Outside of several $3 a pack cookie cutter fleer/ud priducts, each issye was sort of unique. Many were innovative with awsome box toppers etc.
Now we get marquee and a mess of retro.

I loved collecting back in those days, the amount of available cards was staggering and there was always something new coming out. 2001 may have been a little overdone, what with all the sets coming out just to capitalize on Pujols and Ichiro, but I would be a happy collector if we had this many options these days. It's no secret why so many of us actively collect stuff from the late 90's and early 00's; strong competition led to great innovations in cards.

2001 was the year I got back into collecting. I had a great time. Game used was still new, different, and valuable. An auto was a special treat and a low numbered card was out of 250.

I'd estimate there were 20-25 shops in Rhode Island in those days (including one in the same building as a gun shop!). Too many, yes, but the ones that were worth going to really tried to make sure you kept going back to them. That's one thing I really miss, a wide variety of shops to choose from. There's only a handful in RI now, and a few of those are completely worthless. None of them have a good stock of cheap old boxes or packs, and singles are limited or overpriced. I just wish I had the money then that I do now; could have enjoyed all of those shops a lot more than I did.

I'm not talking about a few trying to undercut each other with box prices,
I'm saying There were a TON more products to choose from and not every dealer HAD to BUY everything out there..
LOTS of CHOICES!!!
NOT like it is now, Fewer products and everyone opening up the same stuff and every buyer of a box is a seller now!

I remember 2000 and 2001 fondly. First boxes in which I pulled an autograph or GU.
