And you have the same nostalgia factor that fed the baseball card boom: video games are to kids from the eighties what cards were to kids in the 50s.
Price wise though they haven’t caught up with cards, the holy grails still sell for just 5 figures rather than 7 figures like cards, stamps, comics,etc. There is a lot of potential for that to take off once the millenial generation actually starts getting money.

What are the holy grails? I loved the 2600, but you lost me on the millenial generation caring about the 80s? They would have been infants in the heyday of the 2600. Logically, I'd say it should have peaked by now.
