I agree. I collect pre-WWII cards because I like the cards, but also because none of the players will do something in the future to disappoint us. None of them will be traded to a team we hate, and none of them will do anything to soil their reputations. Also, collecting pre-WWII cards takes us back to a time when players played the game because they loved it, not because they could make millions of dollars doing so.
There really seems to have been a connection between players and fans back then, unlike today when the players don't seem to know or even care about those of us who call ourselves fans.
