Quoted from PinMonk:It's hilarious how the "it" pins in the hobby ebb and flow. I had a perfect Congo I took to California Extreme about 10 years ago that I was selling for $1800 with no takers because it was seen as not a great pin. Now it would go for almost triple that and is considered moderately desirable. Shadow was in the same boat for a long time.

There are pins that are "IN" that were "OUT" 10 years ago... WH20, Shadow, FT, I500, BSD, Congo, RFM, TFTC, and G&R
Out are JY, NF, RS, NBAFB, (NGG to some extent), CP (The biggest drop)
It seems the "bang for your buck DMD" pinballs these days are WPT, TSPP, LOTR (3.5-4K for players)
