As a parent of two girls, who I try to explain my hobbies to, I'd be really happy if either of them liked cards enough to want their own account here.
They're a bit on the young side yet, but my oldest has shown some interest in small bits, mostly along the lines of
"what's that dad? "
"Oh, and old and pretty special baseball card. What to have a look? "
"Sure! what's special? "

I have to keep the explanations brief, but she seems to get it. And she's shown me the new pokemon cards when she gets a pack... So maybe.
She likes stamps too, maybe a bit more than cards.

Maybe someday, that would be fun. I've never been to Philly, or the National. I used to get to the Shriners show in Mass, especially when I was a member of the club, but I only get there every couple years now.
We have a house made in the 1880's, and as I tell people there's good and bad news, The good is that it hasn't been messed with since around 1910... so no awful remodels. The bad is that � it hasn't seen much major work since 1910...
I replaced a few windows, maybe 25 to 30 to go. Which made it a lot more fuel efficient.. Just in time for heating oil to go up by about that much. Last winter was over 1000 a month just heating it.
On the other hand, there's plenty of room for cards....
