The CBS News story on the hobby

This story makes me a little frustrated. To claim the hobby is dying off. Its really frustrating for me to hear. Cards at retail outlets continue to sell. Card companies continue to grow with licenses and products. Even though some hobby shops have closed, its not because the hobby is dying, its because the internet has taken over the hobby. People buy online. Its cheaper. It always has what you are looking for.

Here is the CBS story. Let me know what you think of  the story:

I want to thank Panini for being a card company that steps up and puts up a response to this.
