There are tons of 30 year olds that grew up collecting
As they get older and their kids move out and they have more disposable income I think many will look back to cards. I do not feel that they only have a 10-15 year window. Heck I hope to be around a lot longer then that. I'm 37 so I'm one of the 30 somethings I just never left the hobby like many of my friends. But what's funny is I have some friends who have started getting back into cards, one of whom made a fortune in the stock market and now has decided to start rebuilding a collection he started as a kid. So I see the future as having possibilities. I agree many kids dont collect sports cards but MANY collect nonsport and gaming cards meaning this is a segment (vintage non-sport) which is currently seeing some growth and may have even more opportunities going forward.
