There ARE exceptions, but the majority are I think.
Here's an example. I am a member of OBC (
www.oldbaseball.com), a trading group of pre 1980 BB cards. I just downloaded our directory and did some very quick excel manipulations.
We have 158 members
average age is 51
0 people born in the 90s
5 people born in the 80s
21 people born in the 70s
65 people born in the 60s
43 people born in the 50s
24 people born in the 40s
I would be very interested to see similar numbers, assuming they could be obtained from Net54. But I think the numbers above show the future will have a lot less BB card collectors. Not a bad thing, times change, and that means more BB cards for those of us who still collect.
Either way I'm still having fun and hope you are too!
