Just Curious what the Average Age of a Collector is and How many years have you been collecting Game Used?

[STLHAMMER32]

24 years old, have been collecting since I was 2 years old... I would open packs of baseball cards with my Grandma and have been hooked on collecting ever since. Baseball cards slowly turned into autographs and game used memorabilia.

Wow we are all on the young side (or is it just that those who are much older did not want to respond). It is great though it means that the hobby will be strong for years to come.

I was 51 last September, and have been into game used items since 1975.

I'm on the old side at 61, though still in great health. Now retired, and walk typically 5-10 miles daily. I've been a baseball fan since 1957 ( I remember the Dodgers moving from Brooklyn). But I started game-used collecting only about 5 years ago. I grew up in the small town of Milledgeville, Ga (of recent NFL infamy), but moved to South Carolina as a young adult, and was never near enough to a major-league team to know g-u stuff was available until recently.
