You're right Fred, we have an equal split at the moment. I re-racked the results into equal bars of 10 years each. I'm sure most of the 31-40 and 41-50 groups will continue collecting for the next 10-20 years, sliding to the right as time passes. It will be interesting to see how the 31-40 age group looks in ten years. Will the current twenty-somethings grow in numbers to allow the 31-40 age group retain its share or will the average age grow as time passes? Hopefully the former coupled with growth to give the hobby we enjoy stability (price & value wise).
And for the record, 36 years here.
