While I'm sure the numbers are still overwhelmingly older collectors for vintage, I doubt that poll accurately reflects the current collector scene because most younger (under 30) collectors do not use traditional collector forums such as this one. They would most likely be using social media platforms such as Facebook and Instachat (and probably some other thing I dont even know about, ha) as their internet collecting meeting places of choice. I think net54 is probably off the radar of most younger collectors. And through the covid boom, we've seen a massive surge in young people entering the hobby, it only makes sense that some of them would gravitate toward vintage.
