Re: It has to be limited, it has to have a certificate of authenticity, etc.
Everyone has answered the question. If you're going to collect, you should collect from the heart and not for your pocket. I understand that collecting can be an investment but honestly, if you're only going to collect because it's practical and for money, then I think you're the type of guy who's too lazy to get a real job. No offense.
So, let's pretend that something like the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Box Set or the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition is produced at somewhere near 100,000 units. Still be better to me than, as you have said, a 150-only CE that comes with the game, a piece of paper that confirms that you do own one of only 150 units, and maybe a 30-page artbook. Why? Because I collect them for my own happiness. And I want the best from my beloved games.
I don't know about hunting down truly limited CEs because you're too insecure about yourself and the only thing that will give you a boost of self-gratitude is owning a CE that only 49 others do, though. I still think the main reason for that is resale value. Like it or not, it exists, and we can't do anything to stop it from existing.
