Well, I was once a kid and bought baseball cards for the following reasons
(in order of importance):

1) for the bubble gum

2) the enjoyment of buying something

3) to use the cards in card tossing contests, card house building, etc.

4) for the gambling rush (did I win - Mickey Mantle or loose - Bob Euker)

5) because the other kids did

> Does any of this make sense???

"'Own' a certain person", is this some sort of test or are you serious?
