IN my opinion, shock value means nothing when it comes to price. The more people know about, the more interest there will be. I have no idea why an auction house would tell you that. The downside to the secrecy is, in my mind, it raises suspicion about the item being somehow not what it appears to be.
There are many very big collectors on this board. It doesn't have to be a Yankee collector. People spending that type of money buy stuff they like period.
I hope you get the money you need out of it.
