CSMonitor had an interesting article called How the baseball card game is played.

…Today baseball cards are mostly a grownup hobby. Twenty or 30 years ago, the cards were marketed mostly to kids. Most collectors now are over 30. And in this age of PlayStations and the Internet, kids are less interested in baseball cards.

It is funny that I am 30 years old and just picked up the hobby this year, while I was in the Cooperstown.

So, here is my want-list (Last Updated 5/7) :
