Both PMG sets look the same, with the newer ones looking better, in my opion. So you can't say one is more beautiful than the other without a doubt. Some might like A ans some might like B.
Not to mention that this newer release has mostly players that NEVER had a PMG before... so older ones don't matter at all. Just like saying, this 2003-04 Limited Logos cards are better than the 2009-10 Limited Logos, because they were the first ones... I like the 09-10 best! Plus Kevin Durant is ONLY in the 09-10 set!
Collectors today will like the cards from today, simple as that. Always happens that way, people are nostalgic for cards of their times, even us old farts, these are our times now too, only we have the 90's also. I like the new ones more, for many reason that i've exaplained on other threads.
As for the 90's versions.... there were many collectors back then, as in every era. But how many survived? I'm the ONLY surviving member of my very large circle of friends who collected, and people i've known from card shops, shows.... they've all stopped collecting. SO...... how many nostalgic 90's geeks are left?
A few hand fulls?
As for today, I see more and more collectors like never before! I think that's part of the NBA's marketing.... they've done a great job to bring the NBA worldwide, and even advisertise it to many more people in the U.S. today, more than in the past............
So thus the prices and more interestead collectors! Not because of the 90's inserts and the people from back then, because they're mostly gone out of the hobby haha. Sure as the "talks" of the old inserts keep spreading here and there, but most people today couldn't care about the players from back then, they like new products and wanna pull the newer guys, like Chris Paul(other sets), Jimmer, LEBRON.......
Why don't "most" people today collect cards from the 1960's? 1970's? 1980's?........... 1990's??? It's a natural cycle....
Forget about the old ones.... the new ones are IN!!!
