I sometimes ask myself the same question, "why do I do this?" Especially when I often think the value of these collectibles will go down in the long, long, term, as the collecting generation gets older and older every year.

But then I read a good baseball book (most recently, "59 in '84") and I am reminded of my love for the game and American history. When I pick up an old baseball card, I feel an unexplainable connection to that history, it is the closest thing to a time machine.
