I don't understand values attributed to many things. Certain baseball cards may be extremely rare, but how do you establish value? It is based on perceived value, and once buyers lose interest the prices will collapse. Art falls into the same category. It is easily destroyed, will deteriorate over time, and you really can't do anything other than look at it or display it. But society gives tremendous values to these assets, as long as there are people out there with the means that want possess them. Our cars fall into the same category, I can't understand how some old muscle cars reach $250K or more valuations.
