If I am reading you correctly, then I think it would be naïve to assume that only 1 in 100 who did buy a card then in that age group are the only ones who are driving up the prices now. I saw this in the Eighties (before tpg) when the 52T Mantles started to get media attention. Card shops that I frequented that would usually only have a few customers in it now had lines for any Mantle cards.
