<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 368940, member: 9167&quot;]The reason sports cards died (and I used to collect until the hobby collapsed 15 years ago) is because the companies that produced them got greedy and forgot who the largest portion of their collectors were....young people. Packs used to be 25 and 50 cents for ten to fifteen cards. Gradually, prices rose and counts decreased, until it cost people ten dollars for two cards. The bulk of young people ceased to be able to afford them and the hobby took a dive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Coins can be bought cheap. Everyone gets pocket change. In the broad sence of the hobby, pocket change is all we collect. Some may be old, some rare, but at one time or another, it was the same stuff we find under the couch cushions today. So, with such a readily available supply and a broad range of purchasing options, I don&#039;t see coin collecting going the way of sports cards.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
