I don't collect 19th century baseball either. There's just something about the era that doesn't inspire me...perhaps the feeling that records were inflated by various rules and habits of the era, or perhaps the degree of on field cheating (e.g., the Orioles). I tend to see the '20s as the golden age of baseball. Or maybe it is something as simple as having motion pictures of the players of the later eras.

of course, it could just be that I fell in with a bad crowd as a youth, those terrible T206 collectors
