One thing about stealing finds from Pompeii is that it wasn't exactly a hotbed of great art. While frescoes and the like may today strike us as quite exotic in the light of modern reproduction methods for imagery, most things I've seen from Pompeii I don't think are that good. Of course, 'collectors' often only care about the monetary or 'show off' value. Obviously, as an archaeological treasure-trove, Pompeii is simply priceless, but it was just a small provincial Roman town.
