Wow, I'm 31 and didn't know until today that I didn't exist.

I know a couple people in my area that collect vintage that are under 30.
There are more out there then you think.

I'm just turning 17 in Nov. and I love vintage cards haha. My friends don't understand, they think that vintage is the late 80's!

what are you doing here on a prewar board at 17? go post on facebook or talk to girls...the fun stuff. these cards will always be available (old guys who collect them will eventually die and sell).

Haha, I love baseball cards, I do talk to girls, and I personally hate facebook. I have one, but I never get on it (Maybe once every month!). Anyways, baseball cards aren't only for old people, although I will admit that very few of my friends understand why I love collecting them so much. Heck even my parents don't understand why it is so hard for me to part with one of my baseball cards.

Cameron- You are a young Hero on this board. Hang in there with us. Yeah, most of us are your parents age but you will be some day. I love it that you hate FB. Me too. My 15 yrs old daughter is on it 24x7, almost every second. I make her put it down when we eat so I can see that she actually has a face. Vintage baseball cards, if history repeats itself, will be a nice little nest egg for you some day while you enjoy the journey of collecting. Please PM me if you ever need help with anything. I love to help the younger collectors as much as I can and I know a lot of other board members feel the same way too. take care

I started at 17 too. This was around 2005. I took a break in college just to enjoy "young people" things but have collected regularly since. My advice to you is to stay with collecting, no matter what anyone else says. Your peers will think you are crazy, but don't let them change your view of the hobby. You're lucky to start early - by them time you reach the age of some of the old timers here, your collection will be amazing.

Happy Days! We found 2 others that collect! I think my point here is that if we don't figure out a way to branch out to the younger group, the vintage industry will inevitably die off...
