+1 My son is still very young (4) but I've already started him and he seems to enjoy it. Fathers and sons collecting is great because you used to always see it and now you hardly see it as much.

Ted is perhaps the most knowlegable and most passionate of any collector that the hobby has ever had !!!

Very true, but I'm going to change it a little.

If the kids don't get into collecting...We will have no one to sell our cards to years from now...the cycle must continue!!!!

Over heard this young mans conversation at a couple tables and was impressed with his already known knowledge of the T206 set. Was fabulous to watch! Just a feel good story!

Great story , thanks for sharing that-

And kudos to TedZ, that was very decent of you.

It's nice to see the youngsters developing such good taste in cards, I can only imagine how their collections will look by the time they are in their 30's

As I was digging thru Deans Sportcards half price box for 1970s Topps this young man maybe 15 years old asks if their is a Tinker to Chance in his stack of Triple Folders. Both myself and the Dealer had big smiles on are faces because of the knowledge this young collector projected.
