The real shame is going to local shows and 95% of the dealers (and collectors) don't have a clue who these older players are. Heck, I hear the mispronunciation of numerous current players names that anyone who watches 5 mins. of baseball would know. We all know why the card companies keep issuing Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Wagner etc. cards over and over, they sell because they are the only ones anyone knows anymore. Kids don't read the backs of cards and study stats and learn the history. They know the names by what we say or what is mentioned in passing. My son (10 yrs. old) has a phenominal modern card collection and barely knows who plays for who or at what position. That's my fault I guess but I can't force him to learn, he has to want to himself.
Sorry for the rant, that's just my opinion.
