I was staying out of this conversation, but this is surely one of the least fair claims? You could have got a $30,000 bottle of Chateau Petrus for $50 if you'd just bought it en primeur 60 years ago and stored it. On the positive side, I'm always very aware of this effect as my Gentleman's Club in London does exactly this kind of thing and sells at prices related to cost rather than value.
