Getting best price isn't always the goal.  Preserving the
collection intact can be a perfectly valid goal to the current
caretaker, even if you (or I) don't see the thread tying it all
together.

Actually I do see the thread tying it all together, John Wisniewski
gathered it all.

And the $5 vs $5000 thing is a red herring, while on E-bay there
is a high correlation between "collectability" and price at any given
moment, the items that end up being historically interesting may well
be the $5 ones!
