I personally thing it's incredibly pointless, but when I was a kid I also thought collecting baseball cards was incredibly pointless. (Granted, baseball cards didn't cost $2M back then.)

People believe doing things like that gives them a piece of history. Some do it because they think it will become more valuable and fetch a higher price later.

I don't get it, but I don't begrudge people spending their money on whatever they want. Given that Dorsey is already rich, I'd hope that he'd donate the proceeds to charity, which would at least make all this worthwhile and productive.
