Showing your collections/room off to others

[z28jd]

I once showed my cousins some T206 cards and Old Judge cards during a family dinner about 15 years ago and one of them said "Do you have any Babe Ruth cards?". I do not, which led to everyone looking disappointed and not caring anymore about the old cards.

My cousin married a former baseball player and before the next family dinner I bought all six of his cards. Total spent was about $50 because I had to buy team sets for all of them. Those cards was significantly more popular than any pre-war card I owned at the time.

No one has asked to see any cards since.

My neighbor from about ten years ago knew Rey Palacios when he was young. He went to the fire station my neighbor worked at a lot. A 1989 card of Palacios was more popular than anything else I had to him.

Basically, unless people collect old cards or just love old baseball history, they don't care.
