We have had these polls over the years and it's always fun to see a new one. Our average age used to be about 44 yrs old, last poll I think I figured it to be around 42 yrs old. Seems about right.... It's always good to see the "younger than 40yr old guys" collecting pre-war and vintage. Most know but I just turned 53 (not that it matters).

Happy Birthday Leon. I've 2 months and 3 days to catch up with you.

I would guess the ages reported hear might be a little on the young side as older folks might not be into the Internet? I mean there must be some 8 year old collectors.

What do people who set up at shows say? Is mid 40s a good average age?

thanks

Bob

I meant to say 80 year old collectors. I'm sure all the 8 year olds are on the internet

Thanks. Physically I feel much older, mentally, like a kid...... but with the responsibilities of the older guy. The poll confirms the norm......nice job too.

A huge +!. It is tremendous for me to see that nearly 62% of all who responded by the time of this post were in their 40's or younger! Technically, I'm 66 (how in the world did THAT happen?), but that's really just my disguise. Inside, I remain 27! On the other hand, having been doing this since about 1989 often lends perspective and the experience necessary to spot trends.

Way to go guys,

Larry
