All good reasons above, and I share most of them.
But here's my main response: I don't really collect pre-war. It seems that most baseball card collectors collected as kids, took a few years/decades off, and came back to it later. Me too. When I was a kid my goal was to get one of each hall of famer (from their playing days). When I decided that it would be fun to collect cards again, I decided to finish my childhood collection (and upgrade some cards along the way). I got most of the post-war guys when I was a kid, so what I have left to work on is mostly pre-war.
