But can you figure out if it actually has changed hands for more than any other sat? Are there collectors who care enough? Or am I misunderstanding. You're saying it would be worth more for the same reason a dollar bill with an interesting serial number is worth more than a dollar, right? That a collector will pay a premium to own THAT sat.

Yes, that's the idea. At the time there was a pretty active market in these 'collector' sats. I never traded in them myself.
