I enjoy the challenge of the hunt. Finding that one rare card, where maybe 50 or less exist, and finding it in decent shape. Though we all know sometimes we have to take what we can get. I enjoy meeting and chatting with other collectors, dealers, and just plain folks who love baseball history. Though most friends assume I am also a die hard modern fan as well. I can name more players from the 20's and 30's than I can from the current rosters. Not sure what that means. Since I was born in the 50's.
I also do presentations, and get to display things people would never otherwise ever get a chance to see. Personal items belonging to the players, such as Lou Gehrig's personal health club pass, or sterling silver awards given to Foxx, Etc. Etc. People just about wet themselves if they see anything to do with Ruth. We are so immersed in this stuff, we forget the average person has never even seen anything relating to Ruth and the guys. And many things can be framed and hung in my office. Makes it look very cool. I Do Not Do this as an investment. I do it for fun.
