Interactive baseball cards?

A quick break in the fantasy world leads us to a revolutionary idea in baseball cards.

OK, revolutionary is a strong word.

But in this digital age, why not use the latest technology to upgrade the baseball card experience?

Click here for the latest in interactive baseball cards.

Now, you'll notice it stops short turning these cards into videos, which may be the next wave.

After all, videos and really anything multimedia, seems to be what's hot right now.

But ultimately, the interactive baseball card experience will come up short.

As great as things are in the digital age, there's nothing like holding a Honus Wagner or, more realistically, an Eddie Murray Topps rookie card.

That prize 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck card? Just not the same looking at it on your laptop screen?

Perhaps the baseball card industry is one thing that will never go completely digital.

Then again, instant replay is on its way to baseball, so maybe anything's possible.
