The card companies understand this and over time have tried to blend multi-media into a traditionally one dimensional pastime. Over the last 20 years, baseball card manufacturers have released 3-4 specific product ideas that have attempted to capture the attention of youth by incorporating multi-media in the form of audio, video and 3D into The Hobby. They are:
- Topps Sports Talk Baseball
- Donruss VXP
- UpperDeck Power Deck
- Topps 3D
The following video showcases these multi-media ventures in action.

I don't know if I'm a fan of the whole 3D concept. I whole point of buying baseball cards was the instant gratification from seeing my favorite players as soon as I opened the pack of cards. Now I'd have to find a webcam to see an animated version of something I can see on TV.
I couldn't get mine to work and get frustrated wasting my time trying. Just another gimmick but I think it is funny that we have gone from a miniture record player to 3D in 20 years
