Interesting article on Jersey Cards.

I'm still not sure why people would get that freaked out about it ... I'm getting a mental picture of a collector sitting in a poorly-lit basement sniffing the jersey cards and rubbing them while secretly planning to kidnap the player and feed him bread and water, all so they could get "closer to the action."

I collect them because they look cool and they provide a neat collecting theme to concentrate on among the millions of base and insert cards out there every year. Don't lose sight of the fact that it's a hobby, and no collectors ever really turn a profit so they need to concentrate on the fun parts of it.

So true.

Most people don't take the time to learn or understand anything.

I like jersey cards but I stayed away from them because they were too expensive when they first came out. So instead of spending $300 to get a bat card or jersey card of somebody I liked I waited and have been picking them up for dirt cheap.

If you collect for fun then you are never a loser you are always a winner.
