[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 265863, member: 1262"]Hey Antiquers, Wanted to get your thoughts on a line of thought I've been pondering. Recent trends show that the U.S. is becoming a much more urban nation with many younger people flocking to dense urban centers where they are largely living in much smaller living quarters than previous generations. Micro-apartments and tiny houses are the "in thing" currently in the architectural world. I was wondering how this impacts collectors. Are these city dwellers going to stop collecting or are they going to change their focus to smaller, more compact collectables that take less space to store and are easier to move in our mobile 21st century lifestyles that involve more frequent career/housing changes? What smaller types of collectables are still cool but are also compact? Perhaps items like coins, stamps, and jewelry will benefit. Your Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
