For many collectors, Mojo makes the difference.
It's a tenet of sympathetic magic: things once in contact remain in contact, in an ineffable way. (Quantum mechanics has something to say about that as well).
If "magic" doesn't provide sufficient impetus to push a price point, there's always "provenance".
(I don't mean to dispute the realities of actual construction, BTW).
