    Question Do kids still collect baseball cards?

    I rember as a kid collecting baseball cards, I use to walk down to the corner store to buy a pack for a dime, But the days of the mom and pop corner store are long gone today i stoped in a 7-elven and they don't sell cards so i'm wondering do kids still collect baseball cards?

    I dunno...the only cards I ever see are Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh

    I remember when it was a thing to play sorta this Go Fish type game w/ your baseball cards at lunch time in school. At first I didn't have any real ones (apparently the ones you cut off the back of the Hostess Cupcake box didn't count!) but a friend of mine gave me some doubles after I helped him sort thru all of his cards.

    It's gotten to the point where kids can't even afford them,I went to a local card shop the other day looking for a D-Wade Refractor rookie card and they were asking like $4-$20 a pack!! some even more.By the way the D-Wade was $150!! got it on ebay graded for $40


    so i just think they can't afford it,and it really isn't as fun as video games.So times have changed

    Back when you were a kid if you would've had the Nintendo WII or the 360 would you have been buying cards or playing games?

    there's 2 versions that comes autographed,one is like $300 and the other like $1,600

    now if I get it signed by him in person it would drop value unless I get it signed and then have it PSA DNA graded or just have him sign the PSA case

    i could get it signed though,I use to train his wife big pain in the *** though

    Having 3 kids of my own, and coaching various sports, there is very little interest in baseball card collecting from the kids. In fact, I will add that my personal observation is that interest in baseball is declining. I enjoy baseball but it's very difficult to watch on tv and to many kids, moves at a pace that is too slow.

    They do collect the Pokemon and Yu Gi Oh cards...you can find sports cards at Target and Wal-Mart but at least around here they are shoved in a corner while the Pokemon cards still sit fron and center.

    what really ticks me off is that my boss use to kiss her *** so much,like for example when you're training a client and they bring another person with them,you have to charge an additional session(cause you are training 2 people) but no,this chick brings like 5 people which is crazy,she would bring Udonis Haslem's sister,chick,her mom and a bunch of other people and on top of that if you tell her to do something she'd be like hell no,I ain't doing that ****! Rude,Rude,rude! I could'nt stand her ***!!
