Jeff PrillamanThe kids love learning about the old stuff if you present it right. I spent last Wednesday in an afterschool program showing a group of third graders a ppt I threw together quickly talking about the history of the game and the history of cards. After the presentation we played jeopardy where the questions were almost all vintage questions. Then I gave the kids cards of the guys we had just talked about - Ty Cobb, jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Ruth Dimaggio, etc --
They were into the history and excited about the prizes and the game. It would be nice if Topps put together a 20-30 minute DVD presentation or something professional looking that could be used in history classes.
