Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! I grew up in the 80s and collected cards from that decade and then into the very early 90s. During this time, I also developed a taste for 50s Topps cards. Then, off to college and work during college, and I missed most of the cards of the 90s. Around 2000 I got back in for a couple of years and racked up some nice vintage but sold it all and went to grad school. I got married in 2002 and got settled into a career and first child was born in 2006.
Sometime shortly thereafter I started collecting again and have been at it continually ever since. I have mainly collected postwar and prewar baseball, built some sets, broke them up, had a 60s football phase, etc. In the last year or two, I have gone back to some of my 80s cards I loved so much. Also bought some T206 and 50s star cards. However, I keep coming back to the 80s and then I found this thread about the 90s cards. It occurred to me that I completely missed these cards. I mean I watched baseball during the 90s, I just had no money then.
This thread grabbed my eye, and I appreciate your suggestions. I guess it is weird to go from vintage back to 80s and 90s cards, but that's what I am thinking right now.

It isn't weird at all. Chase what you like. I bought a cheap 1991 Upper Deck box to break with my son and pulled the Michael Jordan SP and since I've been working on low end 90s inserts that I remember chasing back then like 1993 Upper Deck Then & Now, Donruss Diamond Kings, and all the cool early 90s Ultra inserts. It doesn't have to be expensive to be fun.
