I sure hope so...

I've been collecting records since the early '70s.
Many vintage rock records still are much cheaper, now,
than they were in the late '70s/early '80s !
The prices are catching up, so to speak, but very slowly.
Some prices will never catch up, due to the CD reissues with added tracks syndrome. For example, my 45 of Canned Heat & The Chipmunks approached $100. in the early '80s. I can buy that 45 for under $10, today ! Another great example is the Fillmore Last Days 3 Lp box set, that fetched $75. plus, in the late '70s. You can get them for under $40, nowadays, as the music is available on CD, now.
The irony never stops. We know that the Lps sound better, but the average buyer could care less. Most folks just want the music.
I like the CD reissues when they contain never before released tracks, but I wish the sound was better, like it was, on vinyl.
There are some good sounding CD players, but none please me as much as my Lp systems.
From our letters to God's ears, I really hope the prices rise, and quickly. I still have another child to put through college. I listen to a small percentage of my collection. It would be nice to cash in, I mean recover my hobby expenditures...
