We have had this discussion several times. People tend to collect memories and mostly during their middle age period from 40-60 years old. These days, stuff from the 1960s and earlier are before they were born, so they can only relate to a few timeless classics. 80s and 90s are red hot now.
You see this in the classic car hobby to a greater extent. Model A Fords were really hot through the 1990s, but as kids born in the teens and twenties started dying off, the market crashed. Cars that were bringing $40-60k were then hard pressed to get $15k. Everyone wanted muscle cars and 50s hot rods. Now, we have seen the hot rods die down and the muscle car market has peaked. What is getting hot is the 80s and 90s imports. Simply because this is what today's 40-somethings aspired to as teenagers. I collect old musicals. These days I can aspire to stuff that was out of reach 20 years ago, but I also know I will take a bath when it comes time to sell. I'll make it up with some 80s horror, John Hughes, and the like.
