I want my son to inherit my passion for the cards I collect but I surely will not force it on him. If, as he gets older, he has no interest, then I'll sell off and go on a nice vacation with the wife. If he has an interest, it's his.
However, I did get a kick out him wanting one of my cards as I was dissolving my modern stuff. He chose a '93 UD SP Kevin Reimer and made sure it was at his spot next to his plate at the dinner table for about a week. I was going to keep that card but then the wife tossed it the other day.

Bill,
Mom's across America threw out hoards of vintage baseball cards during the 70s and 80s. To them it was just cardboard collecting dust. I wonder how often that happens now?

The passion...absolutely! The collection? Probably not...

I guess I am in the extreme minority here. I don't really want my kids to be collectors as it takes up a lot of time, space, and money. There are a lot of other hobbies that I would be more excited for them to take an interest in.
Many folks here talk about cards as an addiction, doesn't sound like something I want to push on my kids.

I've given this some thought.
My passion for the hobby isn't a tangible thing, and therefore does not extend to my cards. After all, they are mere pieces of cardboard. That's why I write. Hopefully, somebody will pick up something I've written and think the hobby is cool. And then they'll begin the same journey I did so many years ago. I hope that's my legacy.
