numbered edition
Sequentially marked copies
A numbered edition is a limited print run of books, artworks, or collectibles where each copy bears a unique number indicating its place in the series: copy 47 of 500.
The numbering signals scarcity and authenticity, often increasing value for collectors.
Lower numbers, especially single digits, typically command premium prices.
