[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 21364, member: 320"] I would say difficulty comes into play. Pinball tournaments are becoming more popular and tables like these are appreciated due to being unsympathetic to the novice. They put aside the "good" but not "great" theme and appreciate the playfield design. Personally, I have not been able to put much time into Shadow or Dracula because I just have never seen them much. Never on location and only sometimes at shows. On another note these two, along with others, have simply become more popular to collectors in recent years and that's easy to explain. Tables like TZ, TAF, MM, ect. have been rising and rising in value so they gotta find something else out of a limited number of pins to snap up. Another way to look at is you get a new album (I guess they're still called that). You listen to the popular songs over and over again till you're sick of them. You start listening to the others and think "these ain't so bad either." You start talking about the other songs with your buddies. They start thinking the same thing. All of a sudden, they're more popular because you and your buddies ain't the only ones thinking that. Then, of course, there's, always a Gilligan's Island that's never going to get any radio time. :) [/QUOTE]
