I'm not sure who is being exploited here? The people who want to buy collections of high grade items? I dont think so - if somewant wants to spend thousands to have the only one in the world then good luck to them.
You dont have to agree with what they are doing - hell I want to punch anyone thats asks me to donate money to a charity on the street becasue I dont agree how they go about it - but its people who are uninformed which annoys me and drew me into this discussion in the first place.
