Differences

[15Mustang]

Are there differences in collecting baseball/football and basketball? Football stresses the QB position and outside of the only the best of the positions have any hobby love. Baseball seems to be more open based on current stats. Any position can be highly collectible if the player is hitting well and the team is winning. What makes basketball collectible? I would like to collect a few cards of the greats, Jordan, Bird, Magic, The Admiral, Wilt, Hakeem, etc. but what about the modern era?

Sorry if this is obvious, just new to basketball specifically.

Thanks in advance!
