I coach a team of fifteen 10 and 11-year-old boys. I believe 13 of them collect baseball cards.

We are the Cardinals. One of the things I do as part of coaching them is give them the name of a player from Cardinals history, then ask them to go home, research that player, and come back in and tell the rest of the team about him. Or I'll be hitting them ground balls, and I'll say "Which Cardinals player was nicknamed the 'Fordham Flash'?" and wait for someone to give the correct answer.

Anyway, when I do this with the kids, about half of them come in with a baseball card of that player, which was pulled out of some pack of shiny cards.

At our last practice, one kid brought his entire collection for me to look at.

So no, I don't think they're going to disappear. Kids still collect, they just collect differently than we did.
