How old are Golden Age Collectors?

I'm 47, and when I went to a comic auction in person a few years ago, I was one of the youngest bidders. Some guys were around my age; not many were younger. I think @Detroit MIke was there. If he was who I think, then he might have been the only GA bidder there who was younger than I was (judging from his looks; I don't know his actual age).

They're not so old that many of them still request coffins shaped like giant longboxes ... at least those who didn't blow all the funeral money on comics. GOD BLESS...

Fixed that for you based on today’s prices. My first copy of Amazing Fantasy #15 was $25.00 for a VF++ copy and my first Marvel Comics #1 and Detective comics #27 took some time payments but were in the single K’s range still for nice copies. Add to that all your high priced bronze books today like Hulk #181 were bought off the newsstand for cover price and I still have pages of original art by the likes of Kirby that cost 5 or 10 dollars in some cases for a page. Still actively buying since the comics field is large and you never seem to get enough dupes on some stuff but I’d think twice collecting from the ground up today. Very happy to causally add stuff and enjoy the likes of everyone here for their posts and comments which so far are free…:nyah:

still have your MC 1 and Tec 27 ?
