I dunno ... this might be a toss up. This chart is incomplete, but excluding the Bike Boom year of 1972, the '60s and '70s really didn't have a huge output of Paramounts (when you compare it to the late '80s).

As far as value, you're up against Baby Boomer nostalgia and deep pockets. Your time will come ... (hopefully).
