OT: Paul Skenes Rookie Card Search

[Rich Klein]

"We" on this board are not the target audience for this. The wider community is and that is whom this is intended to be marketed to.

This offer has already generated a ton of positive publicity for the hobby and if only a few of those people end up going into this world that becomes a net plus for this board.

"We" can object but trust me on this, as pointed out, this generates store business and maybe someone new to the hobby going into one of those stores has a hidden type collection or accumulation which we would like or be able to acquire either whole or in a piece for our collections.

That is Rich.... 99 newcomers won't get anything and will never return to the hobby. Same happened during the pump of the 90s. The bottom fell out before anyone knew it, and max exodus occurred.

I wasn't a newcomer in the early 90s, but the explosion of shiny worthlessness was too much for me to take, and I lost interest in all cards. The personal connection that autographs afford and the love of the history of the game thankfully never swayed.

I think this promotion is great! It's about time that teams got involved into the card hobby
