Death Tax vs. Thumbtacks

[offsides]

Death Tax takes the item that is worth the most. Thumbtacks are immune to Curses and Bad Stuff. How do they interact (this came up in a tournament game yesterday) if the Thumbtacks are your most valuable item?

I ruled that since Death Tax doesn't say "Curse", and isn't Bad Stuff, that Thumbtacks had to go. Was that correct, or is there a different "official" result?

Sounds like how I would have ruled it too. Several things that act as curses are not actually curses, so they're generally more valuable to have than curses because nothing specifically prevents them.
