I agree with you, but the lack of young people collecting has hurt the hobby.
Just for curiosity sake " vintage" is a relative term without any true definition as to year , what would your time frame for vintage be? Anyone care to share their time span for vintage?

I cut it off at 1967 because those high numbers are the last "scarce" issue. Pre war sets like T206 and 33 Goudey will always be collectible. Same for 1952 Topps. Same for autos of the greats, Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Wagner, etc. There may not be the numbers of young people now vs. those that collected in the 80's and 90's, but the same can be said of the 60's. You will still have the die hard collectors/fans who have disposable income and they will be drawn to the "staple" items of the hobby.
