"Worth" usually means that it could sell for that price.  Mark McGwire's 
record-setting home run ball sold for $3 million, so it was worth that 
much then.  Would it sell for that much now?  Likely not, so it's not 
*worth* $3 million now.  So I'd say that the 486 is only worth as much 
as someone is willing to pay for it.  If the seller chooses not to sell 
it for that (obviously low) price, then that's their right, but it 
doesn't mean the 486 is worth $500, or some high price.
