Your collection might be valuable, but adding years to your life is even better.
While collectors might agree that finding the one elusive last card to complete a set might be "stressful", it beats the alternative.
Like not having a hobby at all.
For years, medical professionals have suggested hobbies as a way to relieve stress and improve overall mental health. Nothing has changed. In fact, many believe that having a collecting interest--or another pasttime-- are more important than ever.
Collecting baseball cards or other sports memorabilia may not improve your physical fitness that much, but it can do wonders for your mental outlook. After a tough day on the job, the ability to lose yourself in something you love is invaluable. Hobbyists are able to free themselves from the constraints of working for someone else and the pressure of expected success and concentrate on their own total enjoyment.
