You can collect what interests you, and there are thousands of different areas
to collect from baseball cards to vases.

One thing I enjoy is learning. I try to exand my mind by
reading and taking classes and visit museums. I would rank collecting as a
legitimate tool of learning. The collector is handling, examining and
learning about historicical artifacts. A T206 is a piece of history, and
is about early 1900s tobacco industry, printing, paper and, of course,
baseball. That the collector has a personal interest in the material
makes it all the much better.

If collecting is done right, it should be an enjoyment. And if it isn't
an enjoyment, there a wide variety of other hobbies to switch too. Kick
boxing or skateboarding for examples.
