Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?

I never gave up on vinyl. October 1988, I bought my LP12. We were being told CDs were perfect sound forever. People were dumping their vinyl. Thankfully, I cleaned the best that I could find. Now, TTs at all price points are coming on the market. Is the the vinyl revival real and where will we end up?

Vinyl sales are still growing at double-digit pace more than 10 years after they started rebounding.

As bdp24's reflected, the low-hanging fruit of quality 50s/60s/early 70s vinyl have been mainly picked over.  I'm constantly searching for 1st pressing jazz LPs (mono especially) from mainly the 50s/60s in near-mint or better condition.  Not so easy to find anymore, and when you do it's priced at a hefty premium.
