I tend to assume that everyone who reads this board has a keen interest in baseball history and the intimate details of cards, including their production and history. But recent posts by others show that some people simply like buying cards and viewing them through a nice piece of plastic, while others take their items straight to the safety deposit box and take pride in the size and value of their collection, without really understanding what they own - I'm sure there are many high-dollar forgeries sitting in safety deposit boxes at this moment. And to others it's simply an investment, with appeal due to a touch of childhood nostalgia.

For the rest of us, who practice varying degrees of "studiosness" with regards to the hobby, waiting for months for the only Vintage Baseball Journal around, is something we'll gripe about (everyone likes to see improvements), but we would never abandon our subscriptions...because then we would miss stuff. I have subscribed to every single vintage baseball publication I know of, because I don't want to miss ANYTHING. If one's worse than another, so what - I'm reading it anyway.
