Some "stereotypical" traits that might apply to a few of us Baseball Card collectors:
- We are a predominantly male group...who collects photographic images of other males. I wonder what mainstream society would say about that.
- Most of us (myself included) would benefit from shedding a few pounds.
- We typically have no problem spending a fair amount of money on a piece of cardboard, and quickly justify the purchase. However, spending the same amount of money on something practical for ourselves (such as a pair of new shoes) involves much more thought.
- Baseball Card collectors (unfortunately) spend more time thinking about cards than sex. Seriously, consider it...other than your teenaged years, what did you think about more frequently?
- We sometimes think of cards as an, "investment." Gentlemen, this is a hobby. Wall Street would probably laugh at this in 2015. Thirty years ago, maybe not so much.
Just my thoughts.
Best regards,
Eric
