There's no question that young kids today do not collect baseball cards the way the baby boomers did. Buying nickel packs and ripping them open was a rite of passage for kids of my generation.

However, I do think the future for vintage cards is still good. There is something about the old cards that appeals to many people, and I think any generation can appreciate the history of the cards and the game, and develop a love for hundred year old collectibles. Even adults who did not collect cards as kids can still love a nice tobacco or candy card. Things are always changing, but their is a permanence to old cardboard.
