Kids and cards

I don't know that kids would do much with the cards other than eventually sell them. How many kids care about baseball these days? Very few, I'd guess. And of the ones that do, how many buy baseball cards? The reason we love them is that we grew up spending our paper route money on them and so they connect us to our childhood. Obviously, none of us bought T206s in packs, but it was a logical transition from the cards of our current heroes from whatever era you grew up in to wanting something older/more valuable. As we age and pass along, there will be less and less people that care, so the cards will be worth less.

I think looking at them as an investment is only going to disappoint in 50 years...sell 'em and buy a good whiskey/cigar stash!

Take Care,
Geno
