Collectors Items are for collectors. That's why the Foundation Series was sold at a premium. The extra cost was for the significance of being first, so you could have a first edition and hold it for many years as a collector. Check the relative prices in about twenty years when someone wants a low-mileage "original version" that defines a turning point in history. They are not for driving, or for flipping, but for collecting/investing as memorabilia. That's the whole point, so just do that.
