I view cards as one big scavenger hunt. They are out there and you have to find them. All of the economics courses I took when I was younger is what has shaped my views the most in all aspects of life.

That was the norm for me also. I didn't understand that as a kid. Then as a adult and former long time business owner I realized that was actually a really good deal. My main card shop guy used to travel to shows all over the US. He would pick up any oddball Wade Boggs cards he could find for me.
I also know i get great joy looking at the cards you post. I especially like the ones showing the AWA guys. I watched them as a kid in the 70's.
