Is it my imagination, or did they basically delete virtually everything after 1990?

Seems like before about a week ago, there were tons of sets listed, no there are only about a dozen.

I'm not much into modern stuff, but this has to make it hard on those who are...

Collecting my sports heroes, Roger Staubach and Kirby Puckett.

    I am not a modern collector either, but it seemed that most modern sets only had a couple prices listed anyway.

    Apparently everything after 1990 has been deemed worthless.
    Burn 'em all!!!

    Yeah, I thought they were updating prices, but they took out some good sets I think for good. No 89 UD, early 80's topps sets, 84 donruss, 01 Bowman chrome. Yet, they wonder why more modern submissions go to BGS.

    I called customer service and I was told that the sets are being updated.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    "Yet, they wonder why more modern submissions go to BGS." I don't know about more, but it does appear to be fairly equal on ebay. More so in basketball and football, I think. BGS I think bring a couple dollars extra in average.

    I collect modern PSA graded cards....for fun. I think it's neat to have PSA 10's of cards I thought worthless when I was a teenager. Which I guess is funny. If you mention you collect modern PSA to any dealer, they will instantly either complain about PSA, or mention they are all worthless. Never had I not have a dealer do one or the other. Anyway, if you wonder why the hobby has been down so to say. Look at the dealers promoting it.

    I agree with that. My mention of more modern cards go to BGS was more a poke at the unwritten rule that many follow that pre WWII cards go to SGC, Post UD age cards go to BGS, and everyting in between goes to PSA.

    For me personally, I personally collect cards that are mainly from the 70's, 80's and 90's and I just want them graded by either BGS or PSA. I submit to both on a monthly basis.

    I am glad that they are updating prices though and not removing them. I find the SMR more reliable than beckett and I use it on a daily basis.
