<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 1807765, member: 51195&quot;]Yes they do, along with phone cards, and just about anything you can think of! </p><p>This question is very common on almost any forum that deals in collections or items no matter what they are about. Any as been stated a number of times, the younger crowd mostly doesn&#039;t have the disposable income to collect in earnest. As any on here who has had a family can recall.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that since I am only interested in exonumia and not coins&nbsp; in the collecting sense. I do leave a nice amount when I go into the few B&amp;M LCS. And only because of the point I am in life. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of items that were big ticket antiques when us old farts were YN&#039;s are now loosing in value when sold. Mostly from the fact that the items in question are to far removed form yn&#039;s life and experience. So they have little interest in them, unless they were exposed to them as a child.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stamps is one collecting area, that is suffering more than others. Due partly from the fact that the Stamp companies bought so many sheets when they were released. And the number of people that collected sheets, plate blocks and plenty of singles.</p><p>Having had a father that collected stamps in sheet and plate blocks. And the collectors shops in this area paying about 30% of face value. Due to the number of people selling them, and the low numbers of people looking to buy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins will always have a following whether it is just collecting topical&#039;s, that seems to becoming more popular. Or by countries there will be an ever changing parade of collectors.</p><p>As some people that inherit generic coin album collects just spend them when they find out what the LCS will pay for them. Roll hunting is still a large segment of the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides most coins will always be face value, like my mother 85yrs, state quarter collection (she never meet a state quarter that she let go of) She still insists that they will be worth more than a quarter some day. Nothing anyone can say will change her mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices will go up and down, and there will always be new collectors to fill the voids of those that leave this mortal coil! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
