Quoted from Dr-pin:

I think all but the really best old games will plummet.
Many new titles coming out with much more advanced ruleset and theme integration.
There is zero appeal in old and simple titles unless you have a barn full of old crap games.
A modern collector with room for 2-8 titles will have almost zero interest in having fishtales or such in their home-collection, esp if they are overpriced.
Also over time, you may feel prices going up, but honestly, compare to other real values as land or gold, and you will soon realise it
s not prices going up, its money going down.

I have actually noticed cheaper games going up the most lately. I think newer collectors are more comfortable paying 2k or less to get into the hobby than 10k for a NIB.

EMS used to be 100 bucks, now everyone wants 400 for non working ones...and they are selling.
Early ss pins that used to be 200-300 are now 1k and more.
