I find a new excitement now, when I spot an original card. I try harder to add it to the collection. Condition is not always as important; to be able to hold in my hands, the same card as that kid in 1909. I pull an original out at card shows; take it out of the sleeve; hand it to the kid and ask him how it feels to hold a 110 year-old baseball card. For me, these are parts of the hobby to not lose.
It's cool to feel like a kid again.
