Yes, but not as a card collector, but as a memorabilia collector. The early history books are amazing, and while many have been reprinted, I still prefer the originals. The earlier, the better. Great starter books are Spalding�s, America�s National Game, Richter�s, History of Base Ball, Spink�s, National Game and Ellard�s, Baseball in Cincinnati, all of which have been reprinted, but are are available in original edition for a price.
A great basic early book is Chadwick�s, Game of Baseball (1868), available in a reprint also.
