It seems strange today, but once a collector would pay $50 for a cartoon that was used (and worn) and today you can get an entire Warners restored cartoon collection for less!

This is true, but there is definitely a retro factor to 16mm film collecting, especially if you come away with a great find at a decent price. The "Ooh, Ahh" of projecting film with your friends in the back yard on a summer night is a great thing that you may not get with DVD or other stuff. "Scooterpalooza" (gawd, I miss reading about those) would be a blast with a good print of a classic film(especially if you have anamorphic material and lenses). No fast forwarding or skipping with film!
