Why? It probably won't go down in value. Some would say paying 500 thou for
a "known" painting is crazy but it won't go down in value. If one has the
cash it makes much more sense to invest in an original than a reproduction
that *will* go down in value.

Classic paintings are different. It's highly unlikely that a shift in
cultural attitudes will cause society to regard Rembrandt less highly in
the future (which would depress the value of his paintings). His place
in art history is assured, and the value of his work is assured.

But when you buy TV memorabilia, there is a definite risk that the
culture may evolve to the point that nobody will care about that TV show
anymore. And then the resale value of that memorabilia will decline.
