Pros and Cons of collecting them?

Initially, I did not like the Perez-Steele post cards. I was working on a display for Mazeroski and thought his Perez-Steele post card was a good fit. Now I have 30 plus of the cards signed. All that is left for me is Brett and if hell freezes over Koufax. I kick myself for not getting on the Perez-Steele train sooner. I missed out on getting a bunch of players on their Perez-Steele cards (Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio), preferring to have a ball signed instead.
Pros -
Nice simple collectible. Smaller than an 8x10. Limited to 10,000, which to me is not really limited.
I have yet to have a signature fade like the signature on a baseball.
Reasonably priced on Ebay, although I have yet to purchase a post card I did not get signed in person.
Cons -
No longer produced.
Limited number of living players (20).
