Bob,
You said: "I'll bet you my next year's personal earnings that it will fetch FAR more than a measly $5 million." I say: Don't tell me...you don't work and live off your partner's earnings? First off I did not say the raisin rock from Malta was a meteorite...I was just comparing the price of moon rock, regardless of where it was picked up. Assuming a raisin sized moon rock weighed a gram...the $5 million/gram versus $1,000/gram is 5000 times more costly. I'd bet you your next year's earnings that NASA would be on ebay selling moon rocks if they could get $5,000,000/g for it.
