I collect because of the history of the the game/player, connection I have to them and the innocence of the journey ( nothing like grabbing a card of a player and watching the numbers accumulate over time) the art, design etc.
I am a New York Yankees fan. Joe DiMaggio and Yogi Berra PC collector and a set builder of the following sets: 1948 Bowman/1951 - 1956 Topps; to me each represent different things DiMaggio is larger than life an American icon, and was a celebrity late into his life. As for Yogi he was a champion, he earned everything, a war hero and a philanthropist. To me each were better people than players and it makes collecting them fun.
