Quoted from rosh:Not everyone will fit perfectly in these buckets, some sort of sit between. And obviously there will be plenty here on pinside who will totally disagree with this. But in reality the pricing of NIB games, for many, is not something they get too worked up over.
Man, you nailed spot on the different type of collectors. The only group you really did not address are the restorer type that buy old beat to crap games or games off rout in nasty shape and restore them selves. They tend to have whatever they can get their hands on.
I think I kind of sit between a couple of the buckets, I'm actively trying to have a diversified collection. I'd like to add an EM if I found the right one.
