How many collections lay dormant?

GOD Bless you Bill Hedin.


OK..I think the term "dormant" might not apply in this hobby's bigger picture. For, I can account, just in my small collecting sphere, that
there are approx. 50 vintage collections out there whose owners cannot tell you the difference between a "pop report" and a "pop tart".
Furthermore, they don't care, as they enjoy their cardboard "goodies" as much....if not more....than the new generation of Graded card
collectors.

I, for one, am part of this crowd. And, most of us are very active in the hobby....so, I don't think "dormant" is the right choice of words
to describe these collections.

Now, if I can account for 50 such collections, I would extrapolate that number into many 100's of such collections. And, I can tell you
that some of these collections of E-cards, T-cards, Goudey's, Play Ball's, etc. are in amazing condition (well kept in high quality mylar
sheets).

If some of these cards were to get into circulation, they would cause chaos in the "pop reports".
