Well, so a lot of people said about Pokemon cards (as people never acutally used them...just collected them).

Pokemon is a rather poor game to begin with...

But anyways... the few people I know that buy pokemon cards all buy them to play, as do most people that buy cards of card games.

Actually the presence of ebay & other auction sites has made it almost profitable for those people who can get trading cards in bulk & at low cost to sell the more desireable cards Online at inflated prices, pushing the reason behind getting those cards from actually playing with them to selling & hoarding them for personal profit.

If I had a child today I probably wouldn't encourage them to get into Trading Cards, simply because it's ungodly expensive. $5 to get a pack of 6 cards? Sorry, but I'd be better off on getting a kid hooked on Warhammer where you can learn some contruction & painting skills while collecting.

Why don't we try to convince Aaron to sell 3-d pictures/maps of the Ships within SE, along with a brick of clay that we can then mold into the 3-d Ship. I'm sure this would be cheaper than producing pLastic 3-d model kits; plus we can all renew our love affair with clay/playdoh!
