You are 100% right on this. It still blows my mind how much what use to be the respected norm has flipped nowadays. The saddest part is somehow people actually think it is better cannabis.
I can assure anyone the thousands of Afghani seeds I got from a married hippy couple from Vermont I guided salmon fishing back in 94-95, is as good or better then any indica available commercially nowadays. 23 years later and I still get 70% germ rate every time I test some.
The only ones who bitch about the 90s strains are those who are too young to of known them. If there isn't commercial marketing hype how can they possibly be good? hahaha

It sounds like I found my Soulmates!
Yes I sometime order too.
Just trying to get basic building blocks.But only if its not available from a buddy from around the globe.
But most of the time if not always I am disapointed with.what I bought from breeders.
You buy orange skunk and its just skunk no orange taste but orange hairs. Quality is just standard and you pay the big $$$ for the shit.
Not useable for any serious matings.
Would prefere any hippie seed before sold seeds.
I like to meet the people talk to the people who worked their ass of getting all done right and serious to get the resulting seeds. This Fellas aint famous but that shit is real!
You soon know what they do and most of the time you find out about their great attitude and plan.
And there is so much love and karma involved.
Standards were set to crazy levels in private gardens, borders were ignored laws were questioned just for that seeds and to spread em around the globe. Thats good karma for me.
Was forced due to total prohibition to supply myself and buddies with seeds that I produced myself....they also illegaliced seeds over here in the mid 90's.
So I got pretty much an idea about what happens when I do this or that.
Had no clue about cloning.
Only had a halfway god growbook and no internet back then.
And I can tell that most stuff you buy dont matter what brand, you could do yourself at home or better with a bit of luck.
If you have time and a bit of space for some selecting, and just a simple 100watt 24-7 box to keep clones you even can do better at home.
There is another thing about all the yearly hypes.
The more Seeds you send out the higher the chance that someone finds a elite keeper and reports it online. BAM there it starts.
Now imsgine you and two friends test you homemade beans.
Now imagine a testgrower network with a couple hundred members who testgrow your beans.
I guess its clear who has the better chance for a hype.
I would always go for a well worked line with a high ratio of great individuals from a brothers garden than buying those hyped multicrosses you need 100 beans to find a halfway good individium.
Breeders pop up on every corner good strains not.
If they are honest they agree with me.
Its still backyard hack jobs what we do any of us if micro breeder established breeder hobby breeder.
Untill mj isnt fully decriminalized and legalized without regulations we will all be limited by numbers.
As long as we cant say "...lets grow a hundre acres of trees from that seed and select a queen..." we all are just playing around.
Some with more luck some with less.
Some will just have the better marketing skills. Some will have enough money to blow into advertisement. That will not mean that they have any good genetics.
Money, the right location and Connections are worth more for marketing than any genetics.
Just look how easy it is to judge the winning strains at high times cup before it even started.
And when you hear breeders selling seed by the kilo be suspicious its outsorced work results then.
Giving a guy a bunch of female clonrs and when they ready the grower gets a pollentube and Trara you have your kilo of seeds.
Because nobody can grow enough.plants legally on this planet to produce this amounts as a breeder.
Except Uruguay maybe.
