Don't get the idea that this is typical. TV collecting is a very low-buck hobby compared to what some audiophiles spend. Car collectors aren't even in the same galaxy, much less the same ballpark.
A set like this represents a tiny fraction of all the old TVs that people collect. Most are newer and far less valuable, hence the excitement when one like this surfaces.
An average price for a vintage TV might be more like $100 - $200. I have around twenty old tube TVs, and all but a couple were purchased in the $40 - $100 range, a couple of them as low as $5 or free.
