June 2013 for me. Just picked up my 2nd pin on 9-30-13
I've collected 80's video games since 08 or 09.. Been a
gamer since pong. I turned 44 this summer & don't see
myself stopping anytime soon ...

Quoted from txstargazer3:It may be that many of the newcomers to the hobby lack the emotional or nostalgic attachments to games that others played "back in the day". If they are drawn to the new releases, that may explain some of the softness in pricing for average older pins. (Not the handful of ultra-high demand pins like MM, etc.)
While this may be true for some , fun trumps nostalgia.
There are lots of games I have nostalgia for , doesn't
mean I want to own them . Pins are to big ,heavy &
expensive to own to not enjoy playing them..
( I would buy a Bad Cats if I ever found one!! )
