Why do you collect memorabilia??

^^^ FWIW, “value” has nothing to do with why I collect. I’ll most likely die with everything I have and, at that point, I have no idea what will happen to it.

I agree. I don't know what I would enjoy, or could do, in my declining years other than look at all the things I've collected over the years.

Why do you collect memorabilia? The main reason I really like memorabilia is for display purposes. To have a space to lounge around, watch a game, read, listen to music, etc. and be surrounded by items that are enjoyable to view. I’ve narrowed down quite a bit since I started collecting and typically focus on displayable items of my favorite team (Orioles).

Do you love it? I really like collecting, but have slowly got to the point that I rarely pick up items anymore. I’m sure I have plenty of items to display so continue to think I’ll stop for good at some point.

Do you also collect cards and if not why? Basically a single player collector (Brooks Robinson). Other than Brooksie I really don’t collect cards.

What is it about "memorabilia" that is more appealing than cards? While you can display cards, most of the time they are just sitting in a box stored. Memorabilia is just better for display purposes (at least in my view).

Will memorabilia(fill in the blank of whatever category you want) ever be as popular as cards?? Overall I think cards are king. Now, with me, memorabilia will always be more enjoyable.
