<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hotwheelsearl, post: 4605183, member: 75143&quot;]I think this has to do with the epidemic of &quot;registry sets&quot; and people buying the holder and not the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think if you offered the person who paid $16k for the &quot;AU&quot; one would have scoffed at buying the &quot;XF&quot; one at <i>any price</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>It sort of reminds me of those blind tests where participants are give two glasses of the same generic cola. They are told that one is Coca Cola and the other is generic. The majority of individuals will indicate the Coca Cola tastes &quot;better&quot; despite it being the exact same as the other generic one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Final example:</p><p><a href="https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/the_most_infamous_study_on_wine_tasting.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/the_most_infamous_study_on_wine_tasting.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.realclearscience.com/blog/2014/08/the_most_infamous_study_on_wine_tasting.html</a></p><p>Wine &quot;experts&quot; were given a white wine and asked for tasting notes. Then the exact same white wine was dyed with food coloring and given to the same people. The tasting notes magically changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Long story short, this price differential is due to people not understanding, or not caring, that a label does not a coin make.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
