I refer to this great misconception as the "US and Them" syndrome, if it belongs to them...it is valuable, rare, and of great value, if it belongs to us, then, well, yes it is interesting, and yes, sort of nice to have, but alas, isn't nearly as valuable. JUST ASK THEM.
This goes with yard sales, petrified wood, used cars, GOD, and even meteorites.
Best Holiday Wishes to all the "THEMS" among us.

Very good question, one I have commented on so many times. It seems that some dealers like to tell people that only their items are worth anything, everything else is trash. This is a business tactic as old as selling things.

Yes it seems to be mental, although I don't know if it's my brainor"theirs". I have read about meteorites that are referred to as the most Scientifically important meteorite ever found! But, if the thing was found in north west africa without a location, it has no scientific importance. Now why is it, where it fell on earth is more important than where it was formed in the universe? And the biggest question, Who made up these rules and who put them in charge? I know this question has been asked before, I just haven't heard an answer! _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
