"There are just too many cards these days."
"The autographs are stickers."
"The swatches are plain."
I've heard these complaints for the past few decades of collecting. Looking back at cards 10 years ago, I see cards coming up from that time period very rarely which I am very happy to have the chance at owning. They may have a stick auto, plain swatch, etc. yet I'm ecstatic they come up! (Heck, my top white whales don't have a piece of jersey, bat or an autograph at all.)
Many 2016 collectors view 2016 cards with the same type of complaints as mentioned above. Just how many 2006 collectors viewed 2006 cards. Yet, 2016 collectors now have a lot of appreciation for 2006 cards...not to mention their rabid love for 90's inserts.
How do you think the card collectors of 2026 will view cards from 2016?
