Do kids still collect baseball cards?

[Bionic Joe]

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?

it seems like sports cards are geared more for adults. hey damien, do you think that dwade refractor be worth more with his autograph? i've always wondered that.

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

She thinks she's better then everyone,plus I'm not one to talk crap,but let's just say that marriage isn't as good as it looks on TV

take my word for it

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 ***!!

On the other hand Alonzo's wife is a sweet heart
