Some discussion of baseball cards and when they jumped the shark over at
BTF:

It got me to wondering, do any of you ever buy them these days, or did you
in the past? What are your favorites, and why did you stop?
I bought packs s****adically in the early to mid 90s. Stopped because I
couldn't justify the cost, and got sick of getting a gazillion duplicates
of
the same Luis Gonzalez cards. I have them all in a box somewhere around
here, but damned if I know where.
My favorite card, as I think I've mentioned before, features Glavine in
his
Braves uniform playing hockey. I also tend to like cards for guys late in
long careers, so chock full of stats on the back. Nolan Ryan cards were
especially good for that.
