Otherwise, it is an affordable way to collect vintage cards of some of the great players of the time. Some kids tore the T202s apart, and then collected the parts. I think that's okay now.
Some guys collect hubcaps. Or hood ornaments. Some guys collect old cars, and only want entire cars... The car collectors are annoyed that hood ornament collectors make acquiring them difficult. They don't see that the hood ornament collectors actually preserve a market for the hood ornaments. While hood ornament collectors don't have space or money for entire cars... neither are nuts. Both are right.
Collect what you want.
