I still think most collectors consider it their hobby. They have regular day jobs and they buy memorabilia in their spare time with their expendable cash, and they have fun building sets and interacting with fellow collectors. The fact that cards are expensive and there is a lot of competition to get them doesn't really change the spirit of what they do. It may be big business for the dealers, but that is not a collector's focus.
