We are seeing similar values and interest in my other hobby, military vehicles. Many years ago, the WWII jeep was the "hot" item to have and values and parts were priced accordingly. But as WWII veterans are now close to 100 years old, the Korea and Vietnam era jeeps are gaining interest, and the WWII stuff is not so much declining as just staying stable. Now, the interest appears to be in the Humvees and more "modern" military vehicles, but they are plentyful, available through auction site and government sites and are turned into rock crawlers or special forces killer machines. The number of vendors is decreasing, more and more Chinese junk is on the market and the membership in military vehicles and Veterans organizations is decreasing.
Look at your church, your civic club, your car club or other hobby, and the values of belonging to a club or group is not of as much value to younger generations. It is what it is.JMO
