4) Set collectors are more impressive than HOF and rookie collectors. It takes passion to chase down bum's nobody's ever heard of and then actually pay money to acquire them to complete your set.

Have to agree. Pre-war set collecting is not for the weak at heart, I'm 3 cards away from my second set and will be hanging up my spurs after that one and get back to type collecting.

9) Any Wilson Franks, Kahn's, or any card that came out of a hotdog package and survived without major staining is far more impressive than a tobacco, cracker jack or other candy card.

I wouldn't say far more impressive than the super thin 14 Cracker Jacks that were inserted raw into cracker jack packages, but you make a good point.
