Before I start this poll - I mean nothing personal to people who own original prototype games. Just opinion spoken here.

While making the video I've seen all of the "improvements" that are in the new games that are not part of the originals. Some are minor, others will really affect gameplay and servicability. So my question is, will the value of originals see a decline due to this new game being technically superior?

Admittedly, an original prototype will still be a prototype, but will it still command $20K-$25K?

I think the originals will still command a healthy premium, because they are very rare and are part of pinball history. But I think they may not be quite as pricey as people that don't care about the history of the original protos can now opt for a PMI BBB if they just really want a BBB, therefore reducing demand. I guess it really comes down to whether the number of people that really want (and can afford) an original BBB exceeds the number of machines that exsist, combined with the supply side of how many people have one that are willing to part with it at any price.
