Some kids simply don't know cards exist. To that point, all it takes is a fresh realization to spark an interest. I'm a music teacher in an inner cities school, and I have behavior plans for many students involving them receiving baseball/basketball/football cards for good behavior throughout the day. They're absolutely thrilled with them, and trade with their friends. Granted, sometimes they're more thrilled with which one is more "shiny", but still, the joy on their races is real and it's now a huge thing.

I had so many cards that simply took up space and had no value (you know, the 1990s cards of Fat Lever, Ron Karkovice, Rick Wilkins and such), it seemed only natural. I've also shown the kids some T206 cards, and they were fascinated with them (I didn't talk about tobacco...).
