  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

  • Facebook:
We had a poll like this once before that asked people's age, but as the poll aged, the answers were no longer accurate.  I'm just curious to see where our august membership is on the calendar.  Asking the year of birth seemed a better way to get accurate numbers that remain accurate over time - unless some of you are planning on celebrating a rebirth any time soon...

A few years ago, the biggest age group we had, by a wide margin, was 15-25 years old.  I have a hypothesis that the forum, while still popular with younger members, has gone up a bit more in terms of age.

Please take the poll, and if you're interested, drop a line and tell us your thoughts about the age of card collectors or pretty much anything age-related.

BTW: born in 1967!  No, I do not fart dust - yet!  :))

Well, so far anyway, I always knew I was in the 1% group - good or bad.   ;D  Be a collector whenever it feels right.

Not quite...  No age group here is listed as being only 1%.  It's either 0% or at least 6% and change, so far!

Woo hoo!  I'm part of the "in crowd" 18.8%.   

 Then I realize that means I'm old and now my excitement is gone.

Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Oops, my error Don I looked right over the parentheses. Must be my old age, but it does say 5% so that's not as bad.  :)
