BrianI found some folks through learning the history of early baseball (books, SABR, Ken Burns, etc). My collecting focus followed my studies so to speak. I guess thats how a kid from Kentucky ends up collecting turn of the century PCL...
I find if I can tie collecting to learning, the cards mean more. Also, I tried to find vintage that were under collected (Zeenuts come to mind). Generally these are more cost effective.
I also pick up caramels with solid red or sky backgrounds -- because my wife likes them.
Best,
Brian
