Thanks guys. Good question. Two things, really:
1. I recently sold over 90% of my collection (bulk not value), and I owned lots of good stuff. I have kind of been to the mountain top with cards (a 524 t06 set, complete 1914 CJ, E107, D304, T3 sets, etc), tons of Wagners, Cobbs, Ruth’s, Planks, Matty, Young, etc. I am still a collector but I owned examples of almost every card I find interesting in auction houses and I don’t want to require what I have already owned, especially at today’s prices. But I want to still collect iconic and important historic items - I can do that with tickets and they are new to me and exciting.
2. I see a lot of upside in tickets (value). I am an investor who collects, and I see tickets as being very investible, especially compared to cards which are very highly priced right now. So I am collecting tickets!
