I suspect that a fair number of 30 year olds who grew up playing with them as teens and who have made boku bux in their Silicon Valley start up or on Bitcoin now find them to be a source of great nostalgia and something they will pay stupid money to collect.
Not a whole lot different than someone who grew up in the 60s and played with baseball cards and now has major disposable income will pay $500,000 to collect a Mickey Mantle card.
