Building sets with kids

Slightly off-topic, but my son turns one in five days (still feels like a day or so ago we brought him home). I've been looking for something to collect for a long time now and wanted to build a sports card set with him...but how do I know what sports (if any) he likes? I think the 1940 Superman Gum Set will be a fun one for the both of us to build together as he gets older (KINDA can't go wrong with Superman). So, for his birthday, one of his birthday presents, I picked him up a PSA 1 to get the set going. My goal with this set is FUN and LOW grade!

Hope it works out well...but if he isn't interested then I'll keep building it anyways image

    Thats good stuff Mattimage

    When my youngest daughter was still in diapers, I had a 5000 count box of commons out for some reason.
    Well, I went somewhere(work? cant remember where) But when I got home, wife met me at the door
    " Dont get too p*****, but an accident happened to your cards" Well she was wollering around them I
    guess, and got her diaper off. "Chocolate" everywhere!!image On a side note, its kind of a pain in the backside
    to burn a 5000 count box of cardsimage

    Back to the present, my boys are 15 and love football cards. But I cant get either 1 of them interested in building
    sets. They are only interested in stars and Chiefs players( go figureimage )
    I dont wanna grow up, Im a Toys-R-Us kid!

    My son plays little league baseball. Loves the sport.

    We are building a 2014 topps set. His 1st set.

    The joy of opening the cards and placing them in pages.

    He just loves the cards and takes them to show everyone.

    Money well spent
