Invention: Little League Baseball Cards

I decided from time to time I'll babble about an invention idea. As a disclaimer, this "invention" may already exist, or some variation, but I'll write about it anyway.

How about baseball cards for little league players? I'm not talking about the cheesey baseball card pic your parent buys of you smiling on a fake baseball card. Hire a photographer to catch action shots of all the little league players hitting the ball or making a catch, whatever. Put stats from previous seasons on the back. It'd be like a real card, not just a forced-smile picture.

Here's the marketing end: sell them in booster packs. You won't be able to buy two 8x10's or a sheet of wallet size pics. No, you have to buy a 10 card booster pack and hope you get your darling son with a rat-tail. You might not find your kid until you buy 30 packs. That's money in the bank baby. It'll inspire kids to trade with other kids for their friends/teammates, look for rookie cards, try to collect whole sets, all sorts of fun.
