First of all, don't bag on the PCL collectors out there. Until 1957 the PCL was the top league in the west. It had nice stadiums, loyal fans, a high level of play, a great history and lots of tough, interesting cards to collect as a result. Not to mention pre-rookies of a bevvy of HOFers and popular players. Personally, I'd rather own a Zeenut DiMaggio over any other DiMaggio card.

Second, as Scott said, there are many collectors who are interested not merely in owning the "same old" cards but in owning unique cards that illustrate the process in which the cards were made. There are a lot of us. If you don't like or don't want to collect these items, fine, leave them to the others who do. Whatever floats your boat. The point is that they are of interest to many, popularly collected and increasingly valuable.
