I'm not trying to "prove you wrong" here. I will point out that there has always been different types of "collectors."

There are those that just love anything old and mechanical. Many have no interest in "shows" and often have private collections never shown to anyone. Those sorts will always be around - my wife and I included. One of my sons also.

There is also the "newcomer" that wants to be part of something and follows fads. These sorts come and go like clockwork. Many can't wait to have the best thing to show off at a show. It is theses sorts that made old $50 tractors become $5000 tractors. Many I've met could not even change a spark plug. They just buy something ready to show.

Then there's the nosgtalgic person who is buying what he/she remembers when young. That of course can change as these people die off.
