I don't actively collect cards, but I do have some in my collection, from buying collections, etc.
Early on, I found I liked memorabilia better, mostly because everyone else collected cards and there was less competition for memorabilia. Always been counter to the norm, I guess. |

I did as a kid, but after I sold off my collection to buy my first car I never really got back into it. Memorabilia has so much more in terms of display factor (IMHO). I don't even know how to display 8x10 without taking up all my wall space.

I pick up cards when I can get a good deal or find something I really stands out, but I mostly collect autographs.

I don't. Love the feel of equipment and memorabilia. Just a piece of cardboard just never did it for me. Plus the display factor

That's how I started out, but no longer.... unless you count the T3s.
To me those straddle the line between cards and memorabilia, anyway. |

Great Topic. I flat out just don't like baseball cards...I much prefer the memorabilia side of it. And, as a bargain hunter its much easier to find memorabilia at a good price as opposed to baseball cards imho. I'm sure there are baseball card bargains to be found but it just seems like everyone always overvalues their baseball cards when they sell at like Flea Markets, Auctions, Antique stores, garage sales etc... I'm not talking about the knowledgeable collectors on here I just am referring to sellers thinking their cards are worth a ton...especially newer 1980s to present cards. When friends or family ask what I collect I always tell them "Anything Vintage except for Baseball Cards".

I am a (ho)arder. I love it all and I am easily distracted by all things baseball. I collect pre and post war cards, HOF autographs, original news photos, baseball advertising, baseball movie posters, baseball periodicals, Heartlands, pins, a few game used items, and all things Pittsburgh Pirates especially the 1971 variety As a result I have nothing of any real significance in my collection but I am a most satiated collector. I suppose I am the Fred G. Sandford of the Baseball collecting world.

Never for me, never understood why you would spend money to but them then flip them in school yard so I never got into them
Lived a block from the field and just brought home the balls, bats and gloves left behind |

I buy and sell them, but don't really collect cards much anymore. Mostly into handwritten letters and photos. This hobby is mostly a social thing for me, and I find the photo and autograph discussions more intellectually stimulating.

I'll buy prewar cards if I come across them cheaply, but don't collect them at all. Like most here, I collected cards as a kid, but when I got back into collecting sports items as an adult, it was all memorabilia for me. I love the display quality of collecting memorabilia.
