Why would you hope it fades back to normal? I think it's great - if I thought that 50 years from now all the games I've collected were going to be worth the same amount of money, I wouldn't feel any urgency to collect. Sure it's certainly happened suddenly - and that is a little puzzling. I was thinking - perhaps this extreme surge has something to do with that history of gaming special on the Game Show Network. They did do what I would consider to be a fairly indepth piece on Sierra in it.
