Here from 100 years ago. Foote on Ward/Cohen/Wuelfing presenting some points, which are also very familiar to the list here :-) (Shht younger collectors & curators: everything was long before already there. Dealers, hunters, private collecting and a commercial market for meteorites (only the laws were more reasonable than today)). About values & market prices. http://kuerzer.de/Footeonvalue Best!

I think meteorites can stand on there own without having the cash register go "zing" and a price tag popping up like the tacky and overinflated Antique Roadshow. You do not see well-done television series putting price tags on the Apollo returned moon rocks, rare fossils, geologic wonders or Egyptian mummies. To me, applying over-valued price tags to everything is a cheap way to attract attention in a bad economy. It seems to be a well-copied theme these days. I can understand a show like the Pawn Stars doing it because they are all about money whereas the monetary value of meteorites is only a minor part of the story.
