I've always been interested in history and myth. I've heard about Babe Ruth since I was a little kid, and he always seemed like this mythic person who was just a character in history, like Joan of Arc or something. But when I bought my first Ruth card he seemed to actually exist as a person. Same with Ty Cobb, Cy Young, etc. I also like the artistic aspect to many of the early sets. You just don't see that type of artistry anymore.
