For me there are a number of reasons:
The excitement of opening a package and seeing the card(s) inside for the first time. Scans are great but to see the card in person is something else!
I like the fact that I'm constantly learning from other collectors, websites such as this and books.
Finally, its good to be part of a group of collectors who share your interests (there are too few of us on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.....)
