Do kids still ride bicycles?

March 27, 2012

Another story about the death of the baseball card industry, via CBS News Sunday Morning. The segment features Dave Jamieson, author of Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession. (Click here for the Bookshelf interview with Jamieson.)

Back in the day, before they became part of an investment portfolio, kids used to stick them in the wheels of their bikes to get a  cool motorcycle sound effect.

I shouldn’t complain. I was able to pay for part of my wife’s engagement ring by selling off a set of cards.
