Default If the bottom fell out...

For me, stamps are stamps - with pretty or interesting pictures on them, some of which exist in relatively small surviving numbers.
For sports cards to be comparable, the sports part of the equation would need to flounder and sink, such that they just became pieces of card with pictures on them, made in relatively small surviving numbers.....and sports have been with us for eons, and really are one of the few common glues you find amongst people the world over.
You can become a sports card collector at any age if you have ever had an interest in sports. I belive stamp collectors are born into families that support and encourage the interest from young ages. Not too many people take up stamp collecting I wouldn't think in their late 20's.....
