[QUOTE="smcapstick, post: 3798396, member: 2924"] The way I see vintage stuff (like cars and tractors), it has two big spikes in value as it gets older. New: expensive, relative to the day. From new to 25 years old: depreciates to almost rock-bottom. 25 years old: Big (sometimes HUGE) spike in value, as the guys that remember them being around when they were young now have the money to buy one for 'fun'. Five or ten years later and thereafter: steady depreciation unless it's weird/exotic/rare, as the fashion moves on to the next generation. The guys that remembered the subject and bought them start to die off (macabre, but it happens!). 100 years old: massive spike in value again, because it's so damn old. The last one might not be all that applicable in the future, though, as cars and tractors before 1916 were pretty rare - anything thereafter, far less so. Stuff like you Elvis memorabilia could be similar - the fans from the age are starting to kick the bucket, now, so their money is best spent on violent carers than signed plates. [/QUOTE]
