They all know about Ruth. A handful know about Cobb. Christy Mathewson who?
Again, most kids do not collect. There are exceptions to the rule of course, but it does make you wonder where the market will be in 20 years.

Haven't we been hearing for years and years that kids aren't collecting any more though?
