If everyone does their own research, we should be able to come up with an estimate percentage. Add up all the people you know personally ( at work, family, relatives, friends etc) and divide by the number who "activity" collect cards. Then use this percentage against the total population. My percentage came out to about 1% (me) x 327 million = 3 million. Not many of these go to shows, or buy hobby publications etc. Most publications have ceased printing. Check the auctions, not a lot of bids total( 1,000's by the same people).
So maybe a few million buy some cards, but only about 50,000 or less are really in the hobby, in my opinion. Pre-war ? .
