Baseball card collecting is rich in tradition and history. More people collect baseball cards than collect any other type of sports cards. It's only natural that more people would collect baseball cards since baseball cards have been produced longer than all of the other major types of sports cards. Many baseball card collectors ... collect other types of sports cards and memorabilia and are the most avid of the autograph collectors.
