Possibly, or maybe they are hand numbering each one before they break the mold.

That is one of those marketing gimmicks. "Limited quantity", "strict limit", "if you act in the next 10 minutes", "but wait", "normal value is $49 but act now and for $19.95". You know all the crap lines marketers throw at people. Some people are impulse buyers and slogans like these will push them over the edge.

Advertising is a necessary evil. For the most part, people are product loyal and will buy what they are going to buy. But, if you want to bring a new product to market, you have to advertise and do it big; Super Bowl if you can afford it. If we could cut advertising and get tort reform to do away with frivolous product liability lawsuits, products would be half the price.

Hey 2A, I just wanted you to know I paid $50 and had a star named after you. It is being recorded in some book someplace that has something to do with congress.

Wow, pete I didn't know you were in need of any dentalwork.

Elvis, huh?

Well, I guess you will cross that bridge when you get to it, eh?

Can't wait to hear you croon "Heartbreak Hotel"!

I have one of the coins. A tax client of mine gave it to me last year, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.

I also have an Elvis collectable plate. It was left to me when my mother died.
