Hey, Michael. By demographics I guess I mean that the collector market of
today is not what it was 30 years ago. Different generations with different
preoccupations and different ways of adding to their collections. A lot of
material is of less interest to many of today's collectors. And they're more
likely to feel more comfortable buying most, if not all, of their stuff
online, thus there are not as many new collectors to replace the old
collectors at the shows. Show attendance declines and the paper that sellers
used to have little trouble moving doesn't move the way it used to. This was
something I heard over and over again at Cinevent. Believe me, this is not
something I like to see happening anymore than anyone else. But, like the
decline in the number of brick-and-mortar stores, it appears an inevitable
development...
