Our future...from the mind of a seven year old...

[Clark7781]

Dear fellow vintage collectors,

I am a modest man. I work hard, own my own businesses, and collect items associated with baseball. I am hunting the Monster for myself, and am half heartedly hunting the T205 set at the same time.

I LOVE vintage. I have added a lot of pre-WWII cards to my collection, but as I am only 36, my collection is not as diverse as other collectors previously mentioned in other posts.

I am from Philadelphia, and LOVE everything Phillies. I Love Baseball, and love autographed baseballs. My holy grail being a 1930 team signed ball by the NY Yankees with Ruth, Gehrig, and Lazzeri on it...

And a ball signed by Connie Mack and Cy Young.

And than there are the cards.

My seven year old son, Ewan, loves the Phillies. Chase Utley is the man according to him. He collects modern cards with Phillies players, but I am introducing our next generation to the finer appreciations to vintage cards. I collection T- cards and some Goudey ones also....

My question to the experts is thus: how do we make the younger generation appreciate the cards of people who died 50 to 100 years ago?

Food for thought and something for discussion
