The fact that a friggin' *movie* raises the value of something, also really irks me.
How did movies ever become the be-all, end-all?
I'm sure others are irked as well by the intrusions of greed or irrationality into
what can otherwise be a pure, unadulterated, hobby. Isn't it funny that the word
"adult" is used in "adulterated" -- as if the notion of adulthood
renders things impure. Well, in this case, certain forms of adulthood do due render this
hobby impure.

I think you misunderstood my points. The hobby has already changed. Just like the car
collecting, comic book collection and just about most other hobbies when they mature.
The same type of people who complained about the price of an Xmen#1 because people would
just buy and display them and not read them, complain when someone buys an ALTAIR to sit
on their desk and doesn't turn it on. Better that than the garbage heap, without
money coming into our hobby it would eventually die out and many artifacts would be lost
to the dump.
