Their only future purpose, it seems, will be to assure us aging collectors will have someone to flip our collections to in the future. Though maximizing our profits to those kids will be more difficult as they are developing great slickster skillz now, dealing with them will be a pain in the arse down the line when we are ready to let it go.

More than likely, we will be taken advantage of by these new age wheelers and dealers, still sporting their snappy albatross cases around filled with dollar billz.
LOL, They are no different than we were as kids working over the LC owner for a deal on a card I couldn't afford in the first place. Ok well maybe they are a little different but I still think its awesome I love seeing young entrepreneurs in the making. Its just a different era but the concept is the same just on a different scale. Plus not all of them are that way, I see a ton of kids that just love cards also.
