Karl Marx Collected Baseball Cards?
"money, in turn, made the hobby less akin to child's play and more like work: lonely, competitive, unfulfilling, and alienating"
The author defines "work" as "lonely, competitive, unfulfilling, and alienating." He should have changed jobs. Not to turn this into Sociology 101, but this is a very Marxist comment, i.e., capitalism's alienating effect on people. That is, of course, the great debate that should not be taking place on this forum on a macroeconomic level.
Given this forum's very existence, the value of baseball cards has done anything but alienate collectors.
