In simple terms, scarcity is the hard truth behind the value of antiques and collectibles. There are only so many pieces, and the supply is naturally limited, which is an objective fact. But having scarcity alone is not enough; what truly drives prices sky-high is often the cultural story behind it. If the same item is given cultural significance, historical background, or craftsmanship value, its premium potential can be outrageously high. The problem is that many current pricing systems either focus only on scarcity or only on cultural attributes, dividing them into separate camps. The truly reliable approach should be to integrate both into a unified valuation framework. Only then can the market reality be reflected more accurately, and collectors and investors can have more rational standards for judgment.
