Why do we collect?

I collect because I love the game of baseball, especially the history of it. I think that the sport has come a long way from its humble beginnings- but I prefer those beginnings, back when it was a much purer sport.
I also see prewar cards as little works of art. I can sit there and look at pictures of cards such as N162 Kelly or an E95 Plank, just as I would any painting.
Now, with both of my sons collecting cards as well- its become more of a family thing. We all have something to talk about, and we've actually grown alot closer because of cards.
