Mostly collect 90's rookie (high grade), signed 90's rookies (most of these guys do signings now), high end Iginla and high end Kipruosff.

This right here. In the midst of Covid decided it was time to get all those 80's cards I never got. Not to sell, not as an investment. Just for me to have and read and flip through.
"now THERE was a guy!"
So I did. One year at a time, mostly off Ebay, did sniping on auctions when I suspected a deal could be had. Picked up full sets from 1980-1989 over the course of the year (mostly Topps, but OPC from the years Topps didn't make any). Put them in plastic sheets, put the sheets in leather bound binders, and stacked them behind me like legal books.
Every now and again someone from Gen X whom I respect comes by and I let them have a snoop.
"Woah, Ray Bourque Rookie Card! Sweet condition too!"
It's fun.
No interest in newer or older cards. Just the players I was into as a kid.
