For me it allows me to share my collection with my daughters, and give them a sense of the history of women playing sports. I can't say that they are super into it but they care enough about it to ask about what I get in and they have told some of their friends about some of it. This as opposed to when I have bought some items regarding major league baseball that I thought they would be somewhat interested in...nope. Bought a Jeter game used bat. Supposedly two of their favorites player. I got "oh...that's nice".
At least with the women in baseball items they show more of an interest and seem to like to learn something about the piece and the history surrounding it.
Also the challenge of collecting such "outsider baseball" items makes it more enjoyable for me.
