A lot of people care about authenticity, but I'm with the crowd that couldn't care less. A book once owned by Issac Newton vs a used paperback with the same text are the same to me. A copy of a famous print vs one of the prints actualy made by the artist (or by someone in her studio!): I wouldn't pay extra for that. Really nice music by someone who likes the same famous musician as I do? Great! I'm not denying the appeal of "authenticity" but I can't for the life of me understand it.
