What do people do with Baseball Cards?
I am not an American. I know people collected or traded baseball cards but how did they use them?

AIUI, they didn't. They were just cheap collectables.

You'd clip them between the spokes of your bike so they'd make a chit-chit-chit-chit-chit noise wherever you went.

The only other use for them was a sex act that has since been criminalized so I won't go into details.

You open the pack and go "Wow!!!! I got my favorite player!" and go show all of your friends who will be super jealous. Then you forget about it and go out to buy your next pack so you can experience the thrill all over again.

You compared the stats of your favorite players, collected them in tins, and then you wished that someone would invent Top Trumps already.

Baseball cards predate CCGs by a significant amount of time. They were mostly collectible memorabilia and stat records of players and teams. They were meant to be collected, admired and referenced.

You try and see if you can use them in that board game which rolled 3d10 against the stat line.

This. There wasn't really much to them. They got big for a bit due to artificial scarcity. Likely unintentionally. They lost their place due to the same cycle of companies realizing they can print more while everyone still wants them.

Thought this idea could use a dedicated thread if anybody feels like contributing.

They more suffered from the decline in Baseball's popularity and the collectible card consumer base shifting to CCGs during the 90s and 00s. The kids who would have once collected Baseball cards started collecting MtG, Yugioh and Pokemon cards.
