<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zlotych, post: 1482082, member: 36837&quot;]I teach middle school, and here&#039;s my take:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Technology - if it can&#039;t be manipulated with a computer, they aren&#039;t into it. Not saying any of them are into programming or anything of that nature, but video games, facebook, texting, etc. rule. Coins are physical and have little to do with any of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) stigma - old people are into it.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Grading, pricing. Grading and the upward swing of pricing killed sports cards and killed comics. I lived for these things when I was in middle school. Then it became less of a searching game and more of a ponying up cash to get what you wanted. Soured me on all of it. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I know of one single kid who is into comics that I&#039;ve met in 7 years of teaching and none that are into sports cards or coins. They are into video games. They say they&#039;re into skateboarding and sports, but none of them actually participate in either! They just watch videos of others doing them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Generations have their own interests. People from the 1850&#039;s were probably disturbed about the weak axe wielding skills of their children.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
