<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2928839, member: 34882"]While this is certainly a factor, I'm also in agreement with [USER=71723]@V. Kurt Bellman[/USER] that the supply glut of coins and thus dropping prices is a direct result of old time collectors leaving the mortal realm. People can talk about new collectors all they want, but even as a mid 30's guy I'm often one of the youngest people in the room at the shows I've attended. The rate of new collectors joining the hobby vs. old ones dying or liquidating is nowhere near even replacement rate levels at this point. And imo the problem is only going to get worse in the next couple decades as more baby boomers liquidate either their collections or mortal coils.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
