We have had this discussion several times. People tend to collect
memories and mostly during their middle age period from 40-60 years
old.
These days, stuff from the 1960s and earlier are before they were born,
so
they can only relate to a few timeless classics. 80s and 90s are red
hot
now.
You see this in the classic car hobby to a greater extent. Model A
Fords
were really hot through the 1990s, but as kids born in the teens and
twenties started dying off, the market crashed. Cars that were
bringing
$40-60k were then hard pressed to get $15k. Everyone wanted muscle
cars
and 50s hot rods. Now, we have seen the hot rods die down and the
muscle
car market has peaked. What is getting hot is the 80s and 90s imports.
Simply because this is what today's 40-somethings aspired to as
teenagers.
I collect old musicals. These days I can aspire to stuff that was out
of
reach 20 years ago, but I also know I will take a bath when it comes
time
to sell. I'll make it up with some 80s horror, John Hughes, and the
like.

I’m probably the youngest one on here and I too would be curious to
see
what’s the demographics are in buying certain years of memorabilia.
Having dealt with a lot of the major buyers over the last 20 years in
collecting Kubrick, I am starting to see several of those people start
to
liquidate, downsize or pass away. I would love to see some younger
buyers
take the mantle so to speak as I don’t see many people my age going
after anything pre-1960.
All the best.
