To answer both questions together, for me it's the intersection of three different things that interest me: 1) the game itself, 2) baseball history (and American history generally), and 3) old, cool stuff.
For collecting purposes I now seem to care more about players who died before I was born than even my favorite players growing up! Or maybe I just find their cards and stories more captivating.
