I figure it is the toys of our youth that we didn't have then that we now can have. Plus the idea of "classic".
Every time I watch a Mecom auction show I marvel at the prices some cars are going for, many I wouldn't want if you gave 'em to me.
I must be old but somehow I have to think that some of those prized collectables will fade from popularity. I think of Lionel trains. Who today among the next generation is going to want them. I remember a guy in the neighborhood who had a whole basement full of 8 foot tall racks of boxed cars and engines. But would my grandson want them today?
Would my grandkids want a '57 Chevy big block? So when my generation passes...
