1.) I am a big sports fan
2.) I love history & research 3.) I have the inherent urge to collect things (it runs in my family) The combination of the 3 leads me to collect what I do.

I love to imagine how players lived on and off the field, how they interacted with the public and how it was to play for the love of playing, not for the money.

I find it amazing how after over 100 years, and back then cards were not treeted like gold, they survived.

I gotta agree! I LOVE old paper stuff! To imagine who's hands these items may have passed through AND that they survived 100+ years of Moms, Wars, Paper Drives, etc. AMAZING!

And... Not to take away from in the intangibles, but it is such a liquid era to collect. If something were to happen in my life and I needed money, I can sell off my collection pretty quickly because they have a strong, desirable foundation. This is more of a plus/bonus than a reason I collect them, but hey, it doesn't hurt! I've also wanted to collect Pre-War since I was very little in the '90s. Couldn't afford them back then obviously, and my parents didn't see the investment side of Pre-War, but I just love Pre-War. Also, I read Dan Gutman's baseball card book series, "_____ & Me". Highly recommended.

I love baseball and have played some form of it all my life. I like to collect. I also like that what I collect (pre-war baseball cards) have value and many times will increase in value. As a plus many of the cards are great artist works in themselves. Then there is the camaraderie with collecting. All put together it's a lot of fun.

Why Do You Collect Pre-War??
Either the cards were produced too early or the war was too late. Actually though the war was too early and I was produced too late.
