Quoted from isJ:Players and collectors are different.
Players are a bit younger than collectors, locally it looks like: 20s - mid 40s, predominantly white, 85/15 male/female; though, I do see more female presence with clubs like Belles and Chimes and tournaments aimed at female players running locally.
Collectors are older white dudes 99% of the time.
I don't fit that stereotype lol. I collect, restore, and play pinball and I'm 24.
