Re: Game Used Collecting - Next Generation...
Both of my girls could care less, but I've picked out several items that are marked for each once I'm gone. Besides collecting what we all collect, has anyone noticed their kids catching the general collecting bug. I know my grandfather collected coins & stamps with the same gusto that I show for sports items. As a kid while sorting baseball cards & collecting autographs, I heard many times from my parents and family that I got the collecting bug from him. This could be very true, I'm not sure. But I have noticed that one of my daughter, who loves to read, will want every book from certain authors. She collects them and is fanatical about making sure she gets everyone and then tells me months ahead when another one is being released. Sounds very similar to trying to complete those baseball card sets or a jersey from every team a favorite player has played for. Sometimes I think it's weird, but you ought to see their faces when I open up a package containing some old jersey or baseball cap. Weird doesn't describe their looks.
