I collected cards as a kid with my brothers in the mid 80s. Lost interest in the late 80s. A few years ago, I got into astronomy, but found it frustrating to wait for the right weather and to stay up late at night in the cold.
From other experiences in life, I discovered that I get great satisfaction from having a specific project goal in mind and gathering all of the parts or materials needed to complete it. That made me think back to when I was a kid and tried to gather each and every baseball card in a set. It gave me such satisfaction to track down missing cards and complete sets.
So I sold my astronomy equipment to start collecting cards again.
