Okay, so part of collector value is in an unopened package.

Instead of putting an actual lens in there, maybe you put a promissory  
note inside to make the lens should the opener request it.

There's a big market in futures nowadays also (witness the oil  
speculators who re doing us such favors these days). Maybe this could  
play to both camps.

I sense a high margin, profit pading product here.
