> It's probably somewhat like classic cars - they're objectively worse in most ways (slower, less comfortable, less reliable, less safe At least for me, there is an element of "I preserved this myself" that would make an older car a point of pride. Eg if I had owned a car for many decades and worked on it myself, it maybe objectively worse than a new one but it's something I had a part in. I feel this way about parts of my house that I worked on , versus hiring someone. I am not sure if this is the factor for most collectors (perhaps "I own this" is enough for them) but just throwing this out.
