[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3738793, member: 26302"]Randy, I know it's a late reply, but the hobby has ALWAYS looked like a geritol commercial. It looked like that in the 70s. Even if kids get started, they get sidelined with girls, cars, girls, college, girls, careers, girls, then family. 40 is our sweet spot where the family and career is going, and they look for a hobby. It has always been that way. The same sentiment of lack of youngsters gets postulated every 5 years, but it is meaningless.

Yes, it's fun to see kids in the hobby, I give them ancient coins, but do not think it is the life or death of the hubby's future if they aren't there.[/QUOTE]
