What on earth are you talking about? 1) card collecting isn't gambling because there is no expectation of winning money, 2) Baseball and sports cards have been a thing for like 100 years at this point.

Nowadays a significant number of people who buy trading card packs/boxes do so as speculation of making money via obtaining a card they can sell for money. Baseball and sports cards weren't exchangeable for significant money 100 years ago.
