In my case, baseball cards and memorabilia have hindered me from acquiring other things outside of the hobby.

But am interested to hear how other people can achieve a different result.

Like posted above I have made some great friends and sometimes we even still email about cards.

As for other stuff i have used cards for many many things including a German made Walther PPK, many vacations, all my weights and all the gear for it, vehicle repairs/upgrades, and a LOT of other stuff.

I bought/hoarded outrageous amounts of cards from the 80s until early 00s. The main thing I wish I would have done differently was buy tobacco cards back then. In my area you couldn't give them away and I could have bought a lot really cheap like I did the 50s-60s cards nobody wanted.

Just in this past year cards have helped me acquire two lifetime dream cards, my dream home and so many great hobby friends. I’ve been extremely blessed and thankful daily for that. It’s been unbelievable. Now I’ll ultimately
acquire and add until I retire or my health begins to fail to provide for my family.

Awesome! Great timing and a little luck too. Any for examples? Card images?
