How old are you?

[MyBetterIsBetter]

How old are you? I want to know if there is a future for this hobby 20+ years down the road. I am 14, and I want to see how many other young people collect.

I'm 28 and plan on being around for a while.

I'm 20, and have been an avid collector since the 2003-04 NBA season. I have to thank Dwyane Wade for bringing me in to the hobby, and the NCAA Champion Gators and this site for giving me a great reason to keep going. When I was a kid I just liked the cards, and loved busting boxes and packs. Now, coming on this site and posting and trading makes it even more fun. And having a group of past Gators that I can really focus on, and try to really collect, makes this hobby great for me!

I'm 14 and I started collecting when I was 6. I didn't start to seriously collect until the 2005 season when I started busting boxes. I think I have a pretty nice collection for only being able to bust half a dozen boxes a year, and can't use eBay. I never plan on quitting; only slowing down when I get to college.

I am 15 and I won't ever stop collecting. Someday I'd love to own a card shop, but it would take a lot of work.

16...I love collecting, dad let me open a pack of 1999 Upper Deck or something, have been hooked since. We still like to collect together and work on sets/projects together. I love baseball and the cards ain't bad either ;]

I am 14, It kind of sucks because I can't trade very much (Usually Around my Birthday and Christmas when I have $)
