Great idea for a post and great thoughts by those that have chimed in.
The history of the game and finding new information about a long-forgotten ballplayer are some of my favorite aspects of this hobby! It was with this mind that I began my Zeenut card run. So many players that had long careers that are now largely forgotten. I have always been drawn the less mainstream stuff and have enjoyed learning about the off-the-beaten-path types of cards & players. It does absolutely nothing for me to see my 1,000th 1952 Mantle or T206 Cobb… zero! Seeing an example of those same players in a crazy rare set, however, does do something for me. Seeing an obscure player from a ridiculously rare set also does something for me. Just a different personality type I suppose and I realize that I am in fact the “strange” one that doesn’t like the “common but collected” sets but prefers the “uncommon but who-cares” sets!
