Love the insight and passion.

Ben, you nailed it! Some people I know think I collect to hoard what they feel is useless stuff. They always have that "why would you pay money for that piece of cardboard or whatever? " What they don't understand is, as you said, the insight and the passion. When any of you guys or me collects, we are celebrating the game and preserving our country's past. Since the Civil War, baseball 's history walks stride for stride with America. My appreciation for the game and its greats grows every year. I love the nostalgia, the logos, the colors.....all of it.
