As a kid I liked cards because I could memorize the stats - both career stats and how they did the previous year. Now, kids can get that stuff each and every day off the internet.
One thing that has changed for the better towards the future of baseball cards is that every kid now has his own baseball card - if the parent wants to pay $15 for a stack of 10. Kids love those things. I think it makes them feel important in the baseball world. Does that mean that at some point in the future they will grow to love vintage cards. Who knows? My kid really likes my cards, but not as much as I do.
