The thing with this hobby is a lot of it is based on money (cost, prices, market values, investment, etc,...)
Sometimes you gotta say WTF and accept it.  |
I think it can be easy to undersell the skills in cards, most notably developing a keen eye for condition and the "people" skills (including negotiating). Both of these are also translatable into other areas of life.
Those other hobbies that you note have their skill components, but there are certainly financial considerations, too. Many plants are very expensive and require maintenance, while musical instruments and sports equipment price out a decent number of people, for instance.
