It's as bizarre as the original Mona Lisa in the Louvre being about a billion dollars more expensive than an identical copy sold on the banks of the Seine.

- ceejayoz 5y agoBarring Star Trek level technology, it's not possible to make an identical copy of the Mona Lisa. That's part of why it's valuable.
- mFixman 5y agoWe can get very close, but even if we had technology to make an indistinguishable copy the original wouldn't fall in value and none of the copies would be near it. The Mona Lisa isn't valuable because it's a nice painting: it's valuable because of its history and meaning to the arts.
