    Quoted from Hazoff:

    B/W games from the 90's will drop in price

    I agree with this statement because the A list titles from the era have been dropping.

    Quoted from MikeS:

    I can see this happening for some of the 90's A-list fan layout games, but I think B-list B/W games and System 11 games will continue to go up in value as newer people in the hobby finally get a chance to play these games and figure out that there are fun games that don't cost $6K or more. I love a lot of the newer Stern games but after you get more than 5 or 6 of them in your line-up they start to all feel the same. Yes, the rule-sets in modern games is what sets them apart but there isn't a lot of creativity when it comes to the layouts. I think that as collector's are in the hobby longer that they'll feel the desire to diversify their line-up with a mix of games from different generations. I wouldn't want a collection based on just WPC games or just Stern games, or just System 11, etc. I'd rather have a mix of different games from all generations of pinball that I enjoy and I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way.

    Agree totally with this.
