Yeah, maybe I'm cynical, but when I see these heartwarming stories like "Look at Little Johnny at his neighborhood card show negotiating for a card . . . ." I'm dubious of the whole thing. I have a brother and friends who teach middle school and high school. These kids aren't into baseball cards believe me. It's all computers and all on the phone stuff. Average 12 year old is about as excited about baseball cards as he is for the next Bruce Springsteen album.

The only money in the hobby is from bored adults who don't care about collecting cards and have no staying power.
