CBS Baseball card collecting story "It's gonna die... "

[prewarsports]

12 years ago when I first stumbled onto the Fullcount forum, my brother and I were BY FAR the youngest guys on the board at 23 and 22 years old. People were saying the same exact thing then and we were the only young vintage collectors to pipe up and give hope to the "inevitable decline". Now, you go to a place like the National Convention and it is filled with 30-40 year old men buying vintage cards and they just needed some time and disposable income to come around.

I just sold a vintage card to a 10 year old on ebay in December and thought it was so cool that I sent him a free Al Simmons card from the 1930's too. He sent me an awesome thank you note in the mail which I have hanging on my wall about how he trying to collect all the "Hall of Famers". People will ALWAYS collect this stuff but it usually starts later in life now and not from collecting as a kid trying to pull Griffey Rookies like it did with my generation.

Rhett,

Saw your post regarding the 10 yr old collecting HOF'ers. If you give me his information I'd be willing to send him a couple of vintages HOF'ers for free.
