In my opinion, the Martian Breccia is far more important than an Ordinary Chondrite and will hold its value better than a witnessed fall with thousands of pieces on the market.. A witnessed fall may very well lose 90% of its value within a month or two once its coolness factor wears off. The real story is in the event and once the limited amount of collectors get their hands on some, the demand drops off quickly. On the other hand, the way overpriced Martian meteorite will be appreciated much longer unless pairings and competition drag the price down.
I always wait at least six months before investing in either one so that I am am not paying 4 to 10 times its settled value.
