Gilbert MainesI mean: you buy cards, you put them away. Wow. End of hobby! As Joann would quip: lololol.
Oh yeah, sometimes you pull them out and look at them. And there are the endless books about cards, baseball, players and all.
But your hobby doesn't do anything.
Even comic books have a dimension beyond their simple existence - there is the Huey, Dewy and Louie adventures, not to mention those of Donald, Daisy, Gladstone - ooops, he is a gander. And the Marvel stuff, et al.
Now model railroading, thats a hobby. Collectables with a function, plus technology, neat operations - and if you can afford it - crashes!
Any thoughts fellow whimps?
Edited to add: Its difficult to beat railroads with Americana or history, according to my Rails & Sails cards, railroading was around before US coinage.
