It's Time to Divide the "EXP" era

ATG9 All Eras has the following number of cards:

..............DB...Pre...Post..Exp
Years.......48....26....20....53
Hitters.....462..615...606...1671
Pitchers....320..368...403..1090
TOTAL......782..983..1009..2761

It's time to divide "Exp" into two subsets. Perhaps, "Exp" should end sometime in the 1990's with the next subset ("Mod"?) starting in 1993 (when Marlins and Rockies joined), 1995 (post-strike), or 1998 (when the Diamondbacks and Devil Rays joined).

Upon further thought, I think the eras should be split as
exp: 1967-1992
mod: 1993-present

That way, all of the Rockies and Marlins will be in Modern (without a trickle of their players in the Expansion).

I agree with Glenn! Thanks for the suggestion.

Food for thought...
How about a re-design of the Eras to reflect some historical accuracy, to wit:

Deadball Era, 1894 to 1920
Golden Era, 1921 to 1941
Equality, or Post War Era, 1942 to 1960
Expansion Era, 1961 to 1975
Free Agency Era, 1976 to 1992
Longball Era, 1993 to 2006
Modern, 2007- current

These are the generally accepted Era in MLB history. It would be a fun project to be able to split 365 into this format, with enough players in each Era to fully stock 12 teams. There are enough existing card sets to be able to handle this project.
