I collect for myself and no one else. While I like a certain aspect of the hobby community, I have often felt I have very little in common with those who collect vintage baseball cards, particularly on this board. That's not to say I try to be inaccessable, hardly the case. The point is, if someone wants to drop out of the hobby in a public or private forum, fine, more power to them. These ARE STILL ONLY BASEBALL CARDS. When you die in a few short years, someone else will have them anyway. We can't be so absorbed with these cardboard trinkets that we take them for more than what they really are.
