Gathering printed rectangles
Card collecting is the hobby of acquiring and preserving cards—typically trading cards featuring sports players, Pokémon, or other collectible subjects.
Collectors seek rare cards, complete sets, or items in pristine condition.
The hobby ranges from casual accumulation to serious investment, with valuable cards professionally graded and sold for substantial sums: His card collecting started with baseball but expanded to vintage basketball.
