Definition: Limited edition - Proper limited editions of miniature collectibles should come with certificates or signatures which state which number of the edition the piece is. This is becoming a less valuable designation in a world where reproduction is very accurate. After the completion of a run of a true limited edition, the mold or press is destroyed so that future editions are not possible. In the case of some collectibles, the molds are being reused to create normal editions, or re issued as classics at a later date. Know your field and be aware of what type of limited edition you are purchasing. Some limited editions may be of very litte interest to miniature collectors.
Examples:
Limited edition versions of collectibles are supposed to be restricted to a particular number and never issued again.
