I do not know where you come up with the observation that
"set collectors" have a limited knowledge of the Hobby. Your
observation is so far out, I do not think really you mean
what you just said.
I have collected BB cards for 30 years now, mainly in the
endeavor to complete sets (from 1888 to 1967). And, in the
process I have learned more about BaseBall, this hobby and
the history of BB cards than I thought I could ever have.
It also, has resulted in my authoring articles on the N162
set, PlayBalls, and 1948 to 1953 Bowmans. These articles
were the result of a significant amount of research. I do
not really want to "toot my horn", but your comments are
ridiculous.
Actually, things just the opposite of what you are saying.
Collectors who focus on type cards or certain players are
the ones who do not gain a full appreciation for the hobby.
