I'd love my kids to get into it but there's no value in it anymore so the hobby is dead. I see cards at the checkout now and there's never anyone there. In my day the baseball cards always had kids staring at them.

Topps pretty much has sewed up the market for baseball. No more Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck, and Score for baseball. Bascially there is now only the standard set, the vintage looking set, and a few other offshoots. There was more variety back in the 80's when I collected. They may not be worth anything now, but it was thousands of hours of fun for me when I was a kid. I got rid of most of them. I saved about a hundred or so of my favorite cards just for nostalgia.
