My 13 year old son watches a lot of MLB TV and has started to become familiar with the players from the 1960-90s. I got him into the modern cards at first, then we found 80s and 90s cards at garage sales. Now his Christmas list has the 1977 Topps set on it. I ponied up the $65.00 the 77 set cost on Ebay, but it is going to get costly if he gets into older stuff!
Not many of his friends are into cards. I just think it take the collecting gene to get into cards and a history gene to get into vintage. No matter how much you try, most kids just won't have the interest (and probably never will) to get into cards in general and vintage in particular.
