I get it... They are actually bidding on a piece of history. There are people
that collect racing history and number boards. A board with any type of history
attached adds value. Imagine a number board off of a Le Mans winning Aston
Martin or Jaguar. Or for that matter 3000RW! These things have tremendous value
to people that collect racing history.
It's like having JFK's golf clubs or something. By themselves they are just an
old set of clubs in a dirty bag... but since JKF once owned and played with them
they have great value.
