Default very valid observation

Hey Matt
That is a very valid observation. I would have to guess the CU forum or the Beckett forum would have a younger age demographic, overall. But, this is about who is going to buy OUR cards....and this IS a pre-war forum. I would like to see this poll on either of those 2 boards. I am quite sure it would be far different numbers and a much younger general age. Just my opinion....
