Are collectors getting old ?

[Rich Klein]

I will say that one of my goals in the upcoming show at my synagogue is to make sure we are reasonable for the youngsters. Our "suggested donation" is only $1 which is very reasonable and with a large amount of kids in our synagogue, I hope even 10 percent of them attend. That would be about 20 kids coming in the door, most of whome probably have never been in a card show or store.

In addition, there are boards (such as Blowout) which skew much younger.

I have also noticed an uptick in people in their mid 30's who were active in the 90's and have returned. I think our future may be better then we let on a nd some of them will find their way here

Meanwhile in storage today I found some old school material I bought from Pat Quinn back in the day which included a ton of the old Frank Nagy auction lists from the 60's-70's. I have a blast looking at them and Leon will be picking those up from me in the next few days --- and he'll share them with the board. So we like the young folks and we like the old folks and try to help both of them.
