Default What's killing baseball cards?

Oh my gosh Adam. hahahaha. That's the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Tales from the other side! Board games. heee.

But as to selling cards, it really does strike me how thin the line is between what's going on with the chase-card phenomenon and actual gambling. I've thought we are turning little kids into gambling-mentality collectors, but with them getting so expensive that only adults can afford the packs, it truly is getting more like gambling every day.

No one buys these cards for anything but the big boomers they might get. So they are spending money on a chance at more money. Ta-DAH! Gambling.
