    I see in the record vintage biz, when an out of print album shows up on CD or re-issue vinyl, the originals pop up more as certain collectors drop the old for the clean new.
    So keep your eyes peeled for a possible uptick in riddlers and conans vintage and such when these come out.

      ^^That's dependent on the artist and album. I've seen originals still go up but also go down slightly. True vinyl junkies will always want a minty original pressing. I've seen from new bands that put on singles as limited editions on vinyl can go up really fast even though the digital version can be purchased online. Even albums.
      Seems like it's very difficult to ascertain any pattern of this type of supply and demand economics in collecting. I believe this doesn't apply to comics and sports cards. Toys, I think minty originals will weather any economy and hold good value as long as there is demand.

        Hmmmm....

        I think another thing you have to consider is that the pool of Mego collectors (for instance) is kinda small, and eventually everybody who wants a Batman GETS a Batman. And the price freezes, or drops. Rapidly; if a new supply (ie: new runs of the figure) comes down the pike. But that's the nature of the beast. Other than a few genuinely rare ones, the price on ALL of them eventually drops as the collector pool diminishes.

                  Hopefully the repros of Batman, Conan, Tarzan, etc. will allow those who have had trouble collecting Megos a chance to join in on the fun.

                  I'm looking forward to an affordable Conan and whatever eles gets released in the future.
