A shame that I have but one thumbs up.

The broken record is getting tiresome.

Dude, you like games with 2" flippers.

You are not Stern's target demographic.

If he was Stern's demographic, he'd have a house full of new Sterns all blinged out, not one filled with games from the 50's and 60's.

Him bitching about Stern's license choices is like my dad complaining about Top 40 radio these days - it's not targeted at him so it's bad. Stern just sold out of those Batman '66 LEs without even showing the game, they know what they're doing.

There's a lot of parallels - there's drivers (players), collectors, restorers and manufacturers in both. There's vintage versus new. There's auctions, and shows, and competitions. Currently there's no "Concours D'Elegance" for pinball but who knows ten years from now.

There's more overlap than not.

Woodrails are mostly worthless compared to even later EMs. When I see them, they're usually under $500.

Probably.

The only thing that will kill old game value is remakes.

I dunno, things like $5k 8BDs and $7k Fathoms seem ripe for some price disruptions.
