<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1562060, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, but I am of the opinion that collectors will be collectors. Most collectors enter the field seriously around their late 20&#039;s early thirties. Some collected as a kid, many did not. While I like supporting YNs, and was one when I was younger, I find the &quot;dearth of YN&#039;s&quot; argument overplayed. The hobby has been bemoaning &quot;not enough kids in the hobby&quot; since the 70&#039;s at least. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Conder, and believe we would have just as mnay collectors today if there had never been a state quarter program. I am not saying I didn&#039;t like the series, but I don&#039;t think it was responsible for any more collectors than would have already had found their way to our hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, the state quarter program negatively affected our hobby at least to the extent of all of the HSN and mail order crap that was pawned off on suckers. When those people went to sell their &quot;treasured collection of gold plated quarters&quot; and found out they were worthless, like it our not our hobby got a black eye.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
