I agree. The trivia and did you know facts about the players on the back were cool also.
It's a lot like comic books also. I look at comics today and they seem more geared for the horny teen kids and collectors, don't see like the Bugs Bunny or the ones aimed at the younger kids. Hell because of comics I fell in love with reading early on as a kid.
I guess I'm just old.... comics and baseball cards were so much a part of my youth..... and now I see them and look at how greed has turned them into expensive "collectibles" for yuppies to invest in and not for kids to enjoy.
