baseball card collectors

Baseball cards aren't what they used to be. I quit messin' with them a couple of years ago.

Buying a complete box now, will in 50 years from now be worth about the same or less. Nobody wants them or collects them really, I mean not like when we were kids and we used them in out bicycles spokes.

The selection of sports cards is crazy, now days. If you want simple, in-expensive , I would say buy Topps, Score or Upper Deck. You can still get some cool inserts with those brands. I've pulled a Joe Namath Autograph and a Steve Young Autograph from the basic Topps set.
Go to a sports card dealer , because there is a difference is Retail packs ( bought at Walmart, ect.) vs Hobby packs (bought at a sport card dealer). Hobby packs have different/better ratio of inserts.

It's a great hobby to get into with your son, also.

Try and pick up a copy of Sports Collector's Digest and that will give you an idea of what's out there and prices.
