Mark,
You can count me as one of those exceptions. As a kid I never got beyond cutting the cards off the back of my mom's Raisin Bran boxes. It wasn't until I was in my 20s that I really got going on collecting.
I think I've told this story here before, but what flipped the switch for me was working in a coin shop where Wayne Miller had a card concession.
I will say that I have been a fan of the game itself for as long as I can remember. The connection was always there, I had just never gone the card route before then.
There are still plenty of fans of the game, even students of the game, who will want the deeper connection they can get from this old cardboard.
