Are the 2nd gens reaching a "collectors status" before the 1st gens are?

Now that some of these cars (especially the 1st gens) are 30-35 years old, are these cars starting to go up in price? I bought my 95 prix at a buy here pay here lot for $1400 with 170k miles on it. I have seen multiple 97 and 98 GP's with 150kish going for 3 or 4 grand. One 97 GTP with low miles sold for $10K!! Meanwhile every once in a blue moon when a 1st gen comes up on marketplace, it is usually in between $1000 and $2000. Because the 97-03s seem to be going up in price one would assume that the 1st gens would also go up in price but it doesn't seem that way to me. The only "expensive" 1st gens I see are the McLaren turbo ones. The 2nd gen w bodies seem to be much better documented and well regarded than the 1st gens are. I believe it is because of how popular and well regarded the 3800 series II supercharged engine is, but I don't know.
