I am close to the tail end of millenials (31 yo) and it is like being a middle child between Gen X and Gen Z.
It is two different worlds.
The Gen Z kids are animals with the Panini football and basketball cards, rolexes, gambling, etc.
Most of the people I know my age are married, having kids, and moving their collections into vintage.
I posted a video of the counter culture "After Show" at the Aviator on Thursday night. I had never seen anything like it. I do not know if a single card in the showcases was priced less than $1,000. I also did not know who half the basketball/football players were on the $5,000+ cards.
