Great thread!
I echo much of the sentiment stated above (historical, connectivity, family) but for me my collection (the not-for-sale elements of it at least) bridges a physical distance from hometown city and team. I am thousands of miles away and have been for over a decade and a half now and I truly miss the excitement of being a fan of my team in their home city. The pieces I collect and display make me feel a part of that which I dearly miss.
