For me, it is still mainly the hunt
Interested in where they come from, and then after finding them, it isn't so much about admiring them, but trying to figure patterns out.
How come out of 294 cards ...
there are seven Red Ames portraits, but no Joe Tinker portraits at all?
How come there are three Lundgren – Chicago but no Mathewson dark caps?
How come there are two Cobb green backs and a beautiful Cobb bat away (I don't own any of those, but I have hunted them down and have scans...) but no Cobb red backs or bat on?
Still guessing all the cards came from one store, but how come the tobacco packs sold there had so many of some, none of another. Mystery of life.
