To my mind, the important thing is that my 10 year old is developing a deep appreciation and even love for the game itself. He played in his first tournament last weekend, and he has been wearing the souvenir shirt I bought for him every day since. Just like others here, I have been letting him know for years that modern players have to be measured against the great figures of the past. I would rather he admired a card because it has a picture of Wagner or Cobb on it than that he knew it was a scarce item in a difficult set.
