Some close-ups from my Sony PVM 20M2MDU

I´m glad to read the evolution of this discussion. I am 34, from Mexico. Since here we were a bit behind in consoles back then, I still experienced it (the final stages though). My dad built me a player's desk with an enclosure for the controller since I was not able to hold the controller so well so young (I was around 4 when I started). Nice memories...

Nah, I only collect NES, but still appreciate the Atari 2600 enough to have the RGB mod and Harmony Cart, with a couple of wireless controllers to match.

Lots of interesting input. Thanks!

Since the questions I'm making are related to Atari collecting, I don't see the sense of your answer.

I did not know where to post this one... I am a Nintendo NES collector, and a topic that comes up regularly is "when will the price bubble burst"? Currently high end games are as expensive as ever and there still there is nothing indicating a crash of the market soon. That being said, I was watching a popular podcast (Pat the NES Punk) commenting that, for example, Elvis collectibles were hot in the 80's-90's but as Elvis original fans got older and died off, the market of those items crashed, since new collectors were not filling the gaps left by the original ones. My question to you is: have you seen this happen with Atari and the older consoles? Do new collectors replace the older ones? What can we expect for say, NES collecting in your opinion?
