7-12 year old kids today are screwed anyway with $5 packs. How many young kids can afford to collect today?

My first pack was 1982 topps, but when I was about 11 (1985), I started collecting big time. My brother and I would ride our bikes to the Kwik Stop (on Rockville Pike, in Maryland) and buy boxes of 1985 topps cards. What a set - Clemens, Gooden, Puckett, McGwire (USA), Conseco (USA)….

i guess your memory is not that good if you recall Conseco on the 1985 Topps USA card.

I was just talking to my brother and he says tat the companies should produce a set with $1.00 packs and 10 to 12 cards per pack. That should help generate interest with the younger kids. No rare inserts / autographs / refracting whatever's. just a basic set with maybe easy to get inserts.
