If the above hypothesis were true, why would so many collectors
(myself included) want to "trade up" whenever possible? We who,
like Michael, have small bits of rare & expensive material, usually
leap at the chance of upgrading to larger/better specimens, precisely
because they are more desirable, not less. And I mean "more
desirable" aesthetically, in addition to "more desirable" from the strictly
monetary-value point of view. I doubt very much whether the value
of gold revolves around how much of it is in smaller-vs-larger hunks,
and yes, I know that a gold/meteorite analogy is not an exact one,
but similar enough to validate the point, I think.
