I don't consider it a part of the hobby, it is it's own entity.
When Upper Deck perfected the chase card in 1989 (or was it 1990) it caused me to mostly stop buying cards in packs, and aimed me backwards (more than I had been), so I thank them for helping me accumulate a lot of cool old stuff, most of which isn't worth much, but sure is fun.
As an example, I discovered a new Bobby Doerr m114 variation today. Woohoo!
