For me I'm not sure I have a lot of principles involved. It's just that I fell in love with the history of the game at a young age. Field of Dreams and then Eight Men Out and then my parents took me to Cooperstown and bought me an old Encyclopedia of Baseball (I didn't care that it was 10 years old because I just wanted to memorize all the stats of the Hall of Famers.
I fell in love with the T206 set and it's just been a lifelong fascination with it. I'm sure the players I collect come in a wide range of good and not-so-good men, but it's really just about the baseball history part for me. Although I did recently realize that I didn't enjoy it when I bought a Cap Anson card. The stories of him walking off the field and refusing to play a game of baseball against a team with black players on them are just too sad to me. I also wish it was easier to collect cards of Negro Leaguers. I'd love to own an Oscar Charleston card but I'd have to sell half my collection to afford one.
