I love pre-wwi color lithograph cards, but I don't really 'collect' them any more. I moved to photographs and real photo postcards, mostly because so many of them are unique, and because I appreciate how much effort it took back then to compose a photo and successfully capture the image and print it. A long way from the current iPhone photos.
When I do buy cards for my 'collection', it's generally a color lithograph - T206's, '33 and '34 Goudeys, and 1800's color lithos are my favorites, for the same general reasons I like old photos - it was a real labor-intensive art form back then, as opposed to the cheap crappy color cards Topps has produced since the '50s.
