The Frankoma is collected by two groups and drives up its price. The Elvis Tiki Bob is coveted and goes high. But, there are rarer mugs. There are a few Kahiki collectors out there that make those items always go at a premium, rare or not. I've seen a few huge collections. Stuff I never knew existed. Get a couple of those people together and they know the super rare piece in the others collection they don't have. Might not stand out at all to you or I though.
