I guess that's not a value judgement I'm capable of making. I don't have a window into the mind of all kids, just the ones that live in my house with me.

But when I was a kid, if I pulled Pete Rose or George Brett out of a pack, I was excited because I got a "star", but I was also aware that Pete Rose or George Brett was more valuable than Steve Comer or Ken Clay.

But from my perspective, if it's the value of a special shiny insert card or whatever that gets a kid interested in baseball, and that helps keep the sport and the hobby viable, then I'm all for it.
