    Serial Numbered

    How hard would it be to take a set of serial numbered cards and actually collect every single one of them.

    Like 1/499 - 499/499..

    ive seen people try to do it with print runs of 50 and they have a hard time with that. i think with a set of 499 that would be very hard. you would probably find a decent amount at first but whos to say im not sitting here with one of them buried in the 50 boxes i have in my room never to be looked at and that means your set will never be complete. i think with smaller print runs its easier because someone is less likely to stash away a card numbered to 50 then a card numbered to 500. that being said it would be awesome if you could do that though.

    Remember that card companies hold back up to 10% of a print run for replacement cards.

    yeah - i think it's virtually impossible with a print run of anything over 10 - because of stashing and replacements

    Plus don't forget the cards that are sitting in unopened boxes never to see the light of day.
    Do something nice for someone everyday, it will pay off in the long run.
