One of the things I love most about this hobby is sharing it with my five year old. About once a week, I bring some of my cards out and lay them on the dining room table. Without fail, my five year old, within about ten minutes, comes up to me and says, "Um, dad? What are you doing?" I then begin to tell him about and show him my baseball cards. He has shown an interest and has since started "collecting" Chase Utley (his favorite player) cards. He has about 20 of them that he has in penny sleeves and hard holders.

He said he wants to go to the big card show at the Dulles expo center with me next month.

I am in heaven!

THIS, to me, is what's good with our hobby.
