You're right I give in I'm selling it all tonight and running for the hills the hobby is doomed.......

T 206 is here to stay, and the future of this set is extremely bright, especially fueled by Wagner....

Baseball will always be a very popular sport....no matter what.....

These cards won't be thrown into the fire like Farenheit 451...

E cards like today could never replace the vintage cardboard like T206 or O.J.s


just deal with it .........

Might I suggest an Ebay seller who is always taking consignments and could get you the best prices for your cards?

as long as baseball is played, cards will be collected.....as long as the next generation plays ball.......the nostalgic pastime, will always have an interest amongst even historians.......that's realistic......waz is a special breed.....most youngsters buy the new shiny stuff.....they usually don't graduate to vintage until they mature a little like we did.......every wally world, target, and kmart I go to has a lot of baseball cards still......they new card market is HUGE! once the youngsters get sick of the manufactured rarities, they will focus on true vintage rarities


the future of vintage depends on the future generations interest in baseball. which I don't see ever diminishing that much....

the wagner will continue to keep baseball card collecting alive.......that mystery alone will keep intrigue in our hobby.....the ball has already started rolling
