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

[Cooper1927]

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.

I think this illustrates a large point. You see middle age folks at shows because they aren't as linked up with computers as younger people. While middle aged folks may buy some or most of their items on the Internet, young people would not think of doing it otherwise.
