warshawlawI got lost in the T207 article. Maybe I'm just not well enough versed in the cards, but I could not follow the interplay between the lists and the articles. Which ones are the tougher ones?
The survey results were interesting, mostly for demographic reasons. The vast majority of the readership is entering or is within its peak earning years (31-60), hence its peak discretionary spending years. Also eye-popping was the result that only 1/3 of those who responded buy on ebay, yet 2/3 have a computer. I, frankly, am not surprised that only 4% of those surveyed are under 30. It is an atypical "kid" who is interested in vintage cards. Remember, for most middle and upper middle class men (sorry Julie) 18-25 is time spent trying to get through school, get a job and get some, 25-35 is spent settling down and getting through the kid thing, and then you have time and income for stuff like cards.
