I agree. When people hear that I collect baseball cards, they ask me "who do you have?" I ask if they've heard of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Cy Young. Most of them haven't, but for those who do I tell them about or show them some cards.

I very rarely come across anyone who can identify lesser hall of famers, let alone Gandil and Cicotte. The last time someone at work said that he too collected, it turned out that he had a Derek Jeter rookie. That's why I'm here on Net 54. Without these guys I would never have anyone to talk with about pre-war cards.
