harami2000 wrote:(To say nothing of Burnie's...)Thanks, <deimos>Yup, reading my mind; was thinking to post about this... certainly curious myself!It's cheaper to buy a 5th print, 4th or even 4th-, than a good OCE!Craaaazy.... Perhaps the public/general collectors think that "Collector's Edition" means rarer?
