I disagree with you. I was born in the 80s and I spend a sh*t-load on vintage cards. I also have many friends around my age who spend big money on cards too. And finally, the younger folks that I see - they are in their early 20s - remind me of myself when I was younger. They come to the shows and drool over the vintage cards that they see. They ask so many questions as well. The interest is there. I am certain that once these youngsters get a bit older (and have more disposable income), they will definitely start buying these old cards.
