It's not just the hobby, it's the game itself that could lose some interest. I assume for most of us baseball made us want to collect cards but at the same time collecting cards to some extent kept us watching and following baseball. I'm not sure I would have been such a huge fan if I couldn't buy cards. It was all part of one big thing.
