Apparently during World War 2 the Oscars were made out of wood as there was a scarcity of metal. Would that make these Oscars more valuable than the metal ones by way of rareness. Can people collect Oscars or do they ever come up for sale?

Bit here about the "wooden" and "plaster" Oscars.

> An honorary wooden Oscar with a movable mouth went to Edgar Bergen in 1938.

> Because of a metal shortage during World War II, Oscars were made of plaster. After the war, recipients were able to trade in their plaster statuettes for gold-plated ones.
