WHY DO PEOPLE COLLECT 19th CENTURY?
Posted By: warshawlaw
two reasons: history and rarity. The roots and history of baseball and the USA are tied together. Items from the earlier epochs are often extremely rare. Many on this board have items that are known in one or only a few specimens. Personally, I got bored with collecting cards that I could find at three dozen tables at every mall show in the country. Try hunting T206 ghosts or N172 variations for a while. And, I stand by what I said earlier: when the chips are down, so to speak, these cards will hold their value, not the modern slab purchases.
