32 for me. I think you'll see a lot of us in my age group because cards were so popular when we were kids. All of my friends collected cards. I even moved around as a kid, but there was a shop in every town, and I was always able to make new friends that also collected cards. I would expect that many of the new members are in my age group, just getting back in the hobby that we loved so much as kids. We'll keep the hobby strong for a long time. After that....who cares.

Completely agree. I'm 32 and grew up opening packs of Topps ('86 being my first and favorite set of all time). Fell out of it when I hit high school, but now that I'm older and have some $$, I'm back in head first.

Exact same story here. 32. I remember opening '86 packs from the concession stand after t-ball games. But '87 was my favorite set. Came back when I realized I could afford the cards I always wanted as a kid, and then the pre-war bug hit almost immediately.
