1) I'm completing my childhood collection. When I was about 10 I set out to get one card of each hall of famer. Much easier now that I'm not funding it by shoveling snow and mowing lawns.
Lots of people buy whatever seems cool to them. I couldn't do this. A card needs to check off a box on the list. I've already got a Babe Ruth card, and so have zero interest in getting another.
2) Most people who like baseball, I've found, also like other sports. Not me. I doubt I could even name more than half a dozen current NFL players. So, I don't know that I have an answer to this question - I've got nothing to compare it to.
