A level of eccentricity and quirkiness that inhabit almost every high end collecting industry, I would think.
I see similar traits in the top end of guitar and amp collectors that I sometimes associate with. People spending as much as their house is worth on gear that can give them a similar tone to a scratchy 60's recording...
Somewhere at the very peak of the dollar graph of diminishing returns, a level of mysticism, voodoo and ethereal subjective qualification tends to creep in.
