Quoted from rotordave:It’s not the CAR thats the same as a pinball machine - it’s the community that’s exactly the same.
I know you don’t have a car Levi (neither would I if I lived in NYC) but the “NIB” car guys are exactly the same as the NIB pin guys. If you check out the car forums, it’s all the same shit! Identical.
The level of super-analness of some of these guys is identical. Matching numbers! Wax it every day! Never use it! Might get a scratch!
Always my personal favourite... seen in both cars and pinballs ..
“What are the ‘must have mods?’”
Get a new thing, glue shit all over it.
Must be a middle age man thing - they can’t play with LEGO any more, so buying trinkets and gluing them to things is the old guy substitute.

Kind of the same thinking I had coming from the car "collector" world. In my view the Difference with the cargument theory is that cars have a Much longer cycle. Look at most Any car pre 1970 and odds are they Have increased over NIB value Today! Back then however, like pinball, they depreciated the second they were driven away. Heck even my 1970 Gremlin is worth more then it cost NIB and that entire AMC company turned to dust...
