one of those things i'll never understand...
what the hell makes a stamp (or a baseball card, or a sori yanagi soy sauce pitcher) worth a gazillion dollars? just because some idiot will pay an arm and a leg for it?
some ancient armor worn by a japanese emperor—ok, sure, throw an extravagant price tag on it. but a freaken stamp???

Exclusivity. The less there is of something, the more expensive it is, as long as it is in a medium where someone will pay absorbant amounts of money to claim the rights to owning it.

at least stamps have a value, they're a sort of monetary instrument. unlike baseball cards.

something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. The more people that want it the more the price might escalate. Hence all those ebay auctions where people pay for than the brand-new value for a second hand item. There needs to be some sort of logic that comes in at some point and says 'this is just stupid'
