I've been wondering if the hobby of shell collecting is gentrifying.  It seems
that there are few young collectors and as such the hobby will decline as pre-
Baby Boomer and Baby Boomer collectors either stop collecting, sell their
collections, or pass away.  It seems the same may be true for other
"classical" collecting hobbies such as stamps, coins and currency.  Is my
perception accurate or am I way off base?
