I agree that the kids today don't seem to collect baseball cards. What I've observed at my local "baseball card/comic book" shop is that they are in there buying the game cards or the comic books. There is some action with the sports cards, but it's not usually the kids. It's generally an older person that's spending money on the sports cards. The store supports a tournament game night on Thursday evenings and there is always a bunch of kids there for that. I've seen them buy boxes of the game cards on those evenings. So the kids have money, they just don't want to spend it on baseball cards. That has been my casual observation.
