Why spend many thousands for older Pythons?

Nostalgia will make many people spend a LOT more money for a product that is technically inferior in some ways to a newer one.
For me personally, Pythons are beautiful (and yes, I'd buy one if I found a smokin' hot deal that was cheap enough) but there's no way I'm spending those big bucks for a "purty" revolver that is mechanically inferior to a S&W or even a Ruger. I have NEVER had timing issues with any of my Smiths or Rugers but the Colts were/are notorious for going out of time more often than the others. I'd much rather take the same money and buy two or three nice (yet collectible) Smiths that wouldn't make me feel guilty if I took them out to the range and shot them several times per year.
 
The thing that drove up the interest of the Python was The Walking Dead.

Dirty Harry should star in Walking Dead, The Sequel: "Do you feel lucky, corpse that breathes? Make my day!"
Zombies have to be shot in the head if you're armed with a .357 Magnum; with a .44 Magnum, you can kill them with a shot to the elbow. Just ask Detective Callahan.
