a very sobering thought. Kids today do not need a photographic image on cardboard to remember their heroes like the good old days. With one click they can look up an image, and even print out a picture themselves if they need to. Come to think of it, many of them don't idolize these players. With all the scandals (Woods, McGwire) for the whole world to see this cannot be good for the sports collectibles industry. In short, technology has killed cardboard collecting for most youngsters.
