...bubble gum and baseball, baseball card collecting has come of age. Of the more than 100,000 baseball card collectors in the U.S. today, some make as much as $20,000 a year dealing their wares. At the dozen major annual U.S. trading conventions, the casual aficionado can wander down aisles crowded with tables of cards-some heaped in shoe boxes, others displayed in expensive leather briefcases. The hardcore collectors adjourn to private rooms where big deals among three or more people are negotiated during all-night poker games.

...helpings of coffee, tea, cider, lemonade, homebaked cake, bread and music every Sunday through Thursday night. The doors to the small, well-lit room open at 8:30 p.m. and close at 11:30 p.m., time enough to down an inexpensive (30 cents), generous (9 ounce) mug of coffee, wander onto the terrace overlooking the Hilles courtyard, or borrow a Monopoly, Backgammon or Chess set from the counter for a game with friends. Different performers appear every night--a show from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and continuous entertainment Sunday nights--playing mainly folk...
