In a word, nostalgia. I try to collect things that are connected to my earlier days.
Back when I was a kid I had the Picture History of the Boston Red Sox, and read it twenty different times. So I need the players from that book. Yaz hit a home run to win my dad a car when I was six years old. So I collect Yaz in particular. In the first Red Sox game I went to, Freddy Patek hit 3 home runs and a double, so I need his 1980 Topps card. I got into the story of the Brooklyn Dodgers when I was a teenager. So I collect those guys. I have always felt the 75 mini set has a certain mystique, so I collect that. I used to bowl at the Sammy White bowladrome as a kid, so I PC his stuff. etc.
