Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I’m so glad we get to rehash all of these pricing thread tropes in this not a pricing thread.
The bullshit you are saying is EXACTLY what people were saying when I got into the hobby 10 years before you did. Like, literally exactly.
In 20 years, all the pinball collectors will be old men and prices will plummet. “Just like the jukebox hobby!”
Well, here we are.

Quoted from Collin:

Everyone hated Congo back in the day, too, and look how that turns out. My former roommate passed on a Congo back in the day for $600, funny enough.
Black Rose isn't the BEST game, (it's no Congo) but it's quirky, has some interesting shots and stuff, and it's FUN. I'd take it over a lot of other early WPCs
