Adam SmithThe answer to your question would depend on a number of follow-up question. Answer me this:
1) Has the wealthy collector has donated the jersey or bat to a museum for others to enjoy?
2) Did the wealthy collector publish a book or otherwise generated some photographs to share the piece of memorabilia with other collectors?
3) Is the memorabilia sitting in a closet or a room where one person has hidden a number of other important pieces of memorabilia and no one in the world but this collector and three of his collector-buddies know where it is socked away?
If the answer to these follow-up questions, is no, no, and yes, I have to say that the greedy one to your hypothetical is in fact number one (the wealthy collector who is enjoying and perserving a rare artifact).
