[78-L] Age of Collectors (WAS Kurt Nauck's Auctions)

[Malcolm - Venerable Music]

I started collecting almost 6 years ago - now some 30,000+ 78s later, I'm 
39.
You could say I'm pretty serious about the hobby - ha! I also have lots of 
friends my age and younger who are into collecting.
Not many that spend lot's of money, but that comes in time.

Which, once again,  brings us to the question of the average age of 78
list-members.
Six years ago we made an enquiry on he list; I collected the answers and
found that of more than 50 regular contributors, at the time, the
average age was 55.
It may be a little lower today, taking into account the many young
collectors who have been added to the list. On the other hand: the rest
of us are six years older...

years ago)
