Love the Cincinnati Cards! I just picked up a few graded in SGC holders for my Cincy set I am building. I will post some pics later this week.
I am with Greg...I collect based on the look of the cards and "eye appeal" and appreciate the cards for other reasons too. I agree, they are small pieces of art.
The cards have too much allure for me not to appreciate them for what they have meant to card collecting and the history of baseball no matter who the player is or how much the card is worth...I am in my mid 30's and I played baseball most of my life, worked in baseball, and am a fan of baseball (Go Reds) and I get to go back in time and learn more about the state of the game in it's early stages when I collect these gems. One day I will get to share my collection with my son and have small pieces of history with a story to tell.
What I appreciate the most is learning more about the history of the game, how the players played the game and how they contributed to the greatest game on the planet...each card tells a story and...the cards will also display well in my man cave.
Happy Collecting!
Hank
