Collectors are a curious bunch. The "rarity" of an item dictates price. Honus Wagner baseball card a year or two ago sold for over 3 million dollars. Why? Because only a few hundred were released to the public, and only a few are known to exist today. There is only one serial number 001, making it "rare" in the eyes of the collector. Was into Porsche for a while, and the collector is crazy about production numbers, serial numbers, etc. Just something collectors do.
