It's all about recapturing the
pleasant memories from our childhood. There was much about our formative years that was nasty, even brutish, and that we'd now like to forget. But our cards and ancillary toys were a refuge from those things. And that's why we now want to hold on to those fond memories in the form of the cards and other now collectible items from those years.

That's precisely it! I agree.
