I think there will be more 45-55 yr olds than any age but we will see...I tried to split them up to make sense but there is no perfect way with only 10 options...

48....geez I cant believe I am actually 48!!

41-49 is going to win, not because its the average but because the window is much wider (9 years)

[zljones]

31!

I think there is no doubt about that. The interesting part will be how many are over or under that age group.

Your truly,

Little League Baseball, originally founded in 1939 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, organized the first ever Little League World Series tournament on August 21, 1947.

Wembley favorite "Bronco" Wilson didn't get to celebrate on August 21, 1947, but the scored program verifies that the Wembley Lions rode to victory that fine night.

frankbmd born the same day and still looking for a vintage Wembley helmet.

Thanks for starting this poll now rather than two weeks from now.

The fact that I get to vote in March places me in a category that makes me seem chronologically younger than I really am.

Now if I only felt that way!

[christopher.herman]

[Big Six]

39...at least for a few more months...

The "wider window" is certainly a factor here. I'll add another factor that is is very influential here. This BB card hobby enjoyed it's greatest growth years during
the 1980's.....hence, 30 years ago. I recall large numbers of kids attending BB card shows back then (especially the Willow Grove Show).

And, most kids start collecting sports cards about the age of 10.....therefore, I'd really be surprised if the 40's age bracket didn't win this poll.

Indeed back in 1991 I was 10 years old and we were ecstatic over cards. I remember the massive craze over Frank Thomas 1990 Leaf, and 89 UpperDeck Griffey. I also remember the 1991 Donruss Elite craze. We always loved post war but could never afford it. There wasnot any prices for prewar listed in any of the beckett magazines at the news stand, which was our main source of knowledge of sets and cards. Now it is great to finally learn about prewar and finally collect those cards. A lot of us will eventually return to the hobby just like I have, now we make adult money and can afford those vintage cards we drooled at over those glass cases at the baseball card shops. It's nice to HAVE instead of WANT.

47 for me........at least I am above average in something.

By the way fart jokes are still funny at 47

Interesting poll. By the shape of the curve it does not look like the vintage card hobby is in danger of dying anytime soon.
