If I open a baseball card store I will be the place to go in my neighborhood, and maybe in this side of town. But I doubt people will be driving hundreds of miles to get their Derek Jeter rookie card from me.

And I think about things like this because I keep reading things like over 200 million people in Asia alone will get their first major credit card in the next five years and I have to think a few of them might like baseball.
