Do you miss the "Certification" Card in JJD sets? (1 Viewer)

[Larry Allen]

Hello JJD collectors,

I just got my first three sets of the War of 1812 Marines .... Incredible, wonderful sets. :smile2: ...... more on those later.

However, I was a little saddened to see that they have no certification cards .... the one that say #43 of 348 for example? .
Same with the new RSF Indians and some of the latest BAL sets.

Do you miss the "Certification" Card in JJD boxes, :rolleyes2:

I guess I can understand the business sense behind the decision, but it made the set a bit more special and unique. Of course you always look for the #1 set or maybe the #348 set. It was nice knowing that I have one (or more) of a truly limited set of toy solders in the world.

Hopefully the JJD Club sets will continue that tradition.

Yes, I think it was a huge mistake to move away from the limited numbered sets. Apparently the incentive derived from some of the earliest sets that were limited to 250 and sold out. Collectors complained they didn't have a reasonable chance to buy them (even though most of these were available for a year or more). Even many sets that were limited to 500 or so were available for months or even years. As a result it's impossible to say how many of any particular set is being produced. A limited production is not the only reason to purchase a set, but it was nice to feel like you were getting something that was unique.

I agree with you guys 100%.I'm collecting Britains Clash of Empire range and wish they would do that also.

I'm with you guys in that I like "limited" editions. There are plenty of manufacturers out there who have unlimited runs. Having a limited edition sets the figure set apart IMHO. This is one of the reasons why I've bought John Jenkins, Figarti, and K&C Strictly Limited Edition sets in the past.
