25 year old is pretty damn smooth, but even that is dear at the price (I certainly can't afford it, but a friend of the family had some on hand). Maybe 50 year old is twice as good? And therefore justifies being ten times as expensive?
Perhaps the quality improves exponentially, and not geometrically, and thus the price, being directly related to the quality, likewise grows exponentially.
