He has a pic of him walking by when Han or Luke waves someone off the elevator so maybe that's what he is talking about?

I was also disappointed that that the Shininng Axe sold for more..... maybe SW is tainted, or the public doesnt care, nor recognise the awesome ness of this piece......maybe there are more out there than we thought....
