But Sophie's, like, truly exceptional.
Like, there's a couple of plates missing, a handful of ribs, a couple of bones in the tail, I think a couple of toe bones.
Like, this is by far the most complete Stegosaurus out there.
That sold for, I think, £250,000, so maybe $400,000 about a decade ago.
So this has now gone up, like, a hundredfold for an animal which is quite a bit bigger, but is way less complete.
So for me, those two things kind of balance out because size is always impressive and that's what the public likes, but also a complete one is better than a half a one or two thirds of one.
So yeah.
So how has the price gone up a hundred or from yeah, 400,000 to 40 million in 10 years?
but roughly the same thing.
Well, that's the thing.
A T-Rex has a massive premium on it because it's, yeah, a Stegosaurus is one of those top tier, you know, it's, you can virtually do the less, you know,
T-Rex, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus.
It's in that first six or seven... Okay, these days Velociraptor, thanks to Jurassic Park.
But that's the list of seven or eight things that any random human...
who doesn't care about dinosaurs and doesn't know anything about dinosaurs, but they've probably heard of them.
Stegosaurus is in that list.
I'm going to have an idea of what it looks like.
Oh yeah, it's got the big stuff stuck along the back.
You'd get that answer from almost any, 99% of people on the street.
But yeah, it's not a T-Rex.
