Why do you collect what you collect?

[mrreality68]

I have always had a fascination for Baseball History and that turned into an interest for Cards. Always interested in Pre WW2 Cards and mostly pre-1925.

The history first led me to Cap Anson and collected some of his items as I learned about some of the early Superstars.

Then led into the story behind the other Stars and that led to my addiction of cards with emphasis on Jackson, Then Ruth.

Now I have expanded to others but my focus and passion is always Jackson and Early Ruth Cards

Started collecting Topps Cubs card as a kid so wanted all topps Cubs in main set and updated set. Also as to prewar, my great great uncle played center field for the 1921-1922 Yankees so collected his cards. That expanded to a 1921 E121-80 and 1922 E121-120 World Series set. Then went for T207 front/reverse cards and then T205 Cubs front/ reverse set. Then S74 Cubs. Final subset is a T210 Jacksonville Jays set as I live near Jax

+1 My appreciation of baseball history had lead me to focus on baseball related items. I've tried to get into other sports but they just don't have the same appeal for me.
