Pieces with historical mentionings got value, but whats the correct price or how can we value a specific paper like this one and which will follow this Buy Bitcoin paper in the future?
There gotta be more of them...

That paper has some value if it is placed in the context of the moment and time in which it was created - that is, as some kind of message to the system, given that it appeared behind Janet Yellen while she was giving some kind of speech in front of the US Congress. For this reason, I can find justification that someone paid 16 BTC for the same, especially if that person has so much BTC that this amount does not represent any significant expenditure.

There will always be some items that will be valuable to collectors, but only their "originality" and rarity will determine their price. If someone managed to write that same message on paper and take a picture with, say, the current president of the US - would someone pay more or less for that piece of paper than the one that was recently sold?

Someone will definitely pay more for it, hamans wants differs at every point in time and there is no way we can generalize what one will want to do with his or her money with that of others, am asserting that someone will pay more probably to break the record of the previous and gain fame as to this regards where references can also be made just as what we are doing now even in the future generations to come, there are those who derives joy standing out of the crowd to do what others can not possibly do which will give them a hedge over the others and make then feel they are the top class stratification that will always be talked about. However, every man will only make that informed decisions of spending based on his or her financial ability, dreams and aspirations.

Nah pay more... for first a paper has to been spoken over and need to gain some popularity over years... so in BTC terms it will always be difficult to beat.
Imagine 1 BTC= 200,000$ then 16 BTC would be way more ...

Also the feeling of a copy thing just to sell it bc another one did well isn't what collectors are looking for, originality, rarity, historical etc matters
