Any modern collectors here?

I've been lurking for quite a while, and I post a bit here and again. I've noticed that there are very few investors/speculators in new card markets. Anyone want to raise their hand and admit to buying lots of Bowman Chrome?

Collecting all bowman chrome rc's from 2002 and 2003
Many believe cards made starting in 1981 are the begining of "Modern" after the Topps-only era in cards ended.
I do collect many issues from 1981 through 2002. It just seemed too much stuff , too many inserts, too many serial #ed cards, too much variance in prices, Etc., and I stopped with 2002. Perhaps when or if Topps produces a 1956 facsimile retro- type baseball set I'll jump back in.
I was collecting the 1999 Bowman Chrome BB in the "international" insert/subset/parallel version but have let it sit unfinished. The Bowman Chrome products seem more stable in value than the typical "current" issues. They are usually quite attractive as well.
companies are catching up. The hottest rookie in 2002 is not found in a topps product but
instead in the Donruss Update Elite set. Prior's best rookie cards were upper deck cards
and last year Matsui wasn't found in one topps product.
Bowman chrome is still a great product despite some major blows to poster boys..Josh Hamilton and
Toe Nash.....remember him? on every topps rookie box one year and then rapist the next!
The rookie roledex which beckett puts out every year is absolutly essential to speculation. It is hard
to find low number of rookie cards of certain players but when you do you can cash in. Remember Reyes
last year?
Have you opened any donruss update this year? Im curious how you think it stacks up in both
hits and player selection against the bowman chrome.

I would always stand up and be counted amongst modern collectors.

I know Bowman Chrome has been hot but I never liked the product. The cards were always just the same as regular Bowman with just the Chrome technology added. If the cards were different I would have initially pursued the product. Whatever, just collect what makes you happy.
Proudly buying your rookie cards since 1987.
I usually buy the Topps Heritage product each year.
Our current ebay auctions, and of course BaseBallCardHeaven.com
I'd unburden you of a couple of those JJ Hardy, but I'm sure their going through your "grading screen" as we speak...so, I'll look for them in graded version shortly !
