Let me get started with this post by saying I'm an avid collector who tends to talk to everyone. This brought up an interesting conversation about what a number in relation to a CE edition would increase the value by. For example, is #69 worth more than #170 from a personal perspective. Maybe you'd pay more for #420. If you had the chance to buy POTC #1, or GNR #1, would you? Maybe a specific number WOZ machine if it matches your birthday.....

Personally, this is a bit of an existential crisis, because I'd totally buy GNR #1, but I'd definitely pay more for #1 than any other

I own the LE version already (CE was sold out)

#1 is worth three dollars in small unmarked bills to me.

Let me know when you want to sell it.

You should add the option for "Would not change my opinion of value".

I personally wouldn't pay a dime more for any specific number. It's all good to have a number you want, but it doesn't change value in my opinion.

As much as the 'Limited Edition' sticker on the apron of a Black Knight Limited Edition.

Don't care. I got 357 on one and I think it is hilarious, but I wouldn't have paid extra. The only person who cares is the sad collector who needs something to make his willy look bigger.

Thankfully I don't need anything to make my willy look bigger.

Having #1 would be a cool novelty to me. I might be a tiebreaker when choosing between two machines, but it's not something I'd pay a premium to own.

The last one off the line would be worth more to me

If I can convince Eric to sell it, I can guarantee it'll never leave my possession for any amount of money... its my 'Ferrari 250 GTO'. I just don't have 100k laying around #SadTux

#1 doesn't mean anything. They don't build them in sequential order as far as I know. Sometimes people request specific numbers and those games are made on demand. In general, I think they just grab a random plaque out of the box.

Does the plaque really make Willy look bigger?

Go for a high serial number, not a plaque. Like a new car, by the time they get to the last model year they worked out all the bugs.

I care not for plaques, numbers, or editions. It’s all marketing nonsense.

I snoozed and barely missed the GNR CE but on another title the seller offered #s 10 and under for an extra 450 bucks,I bought a number over 10 but I can see the interest if it matters to you.
