PoJo- I have observed 6-9 year olds in their managing of pokemon cards. If anyone would care to share their grievances or advise, please do. Here are a couple problems I run into(and often have to solve): *dilapidated cards that would otherwise be worth their weight in gold( I've seen a Venusaur that was bent to oblivion, and then some, by a an 8 year old) * teaching the art of card preservation, playing the game, and card value to illiterate tots * when they want to trade, they expect that any Common is the same worth as another *younger ones measure value by how pretty the picture is There's more where that came from, but that's all for now. In the mean time, remember that the cards are for ages 10+ !!! I beg all parents to keep this in mind! -'Kessel' e-mail: brownclan@mindspring.com
