numbered copies
Sequentially marked prints
Numbered copies are items from a limited edition, each marked with its position in the production run: This print is numbered 47 of 500.
The numbering signals authenticity and scarcity, making numbered copies more collectible than unlimited printings.
Common for art prints, books, vinyl records, and other collectibles where rarity adds value.
