I have serial no. 2837, no variation.

IMHO, this variation is no Assateague. There is no theoretical limit to the number of Gray's Harbor pieces with the variation up to the maximum of the edition size (9,500). A manufacturing screw-up like this doesn't enhance value (again, IMHO), but *does* detract from the realism. I'm glad mine is *not* a variation. Of course, only the marketplace will decide in the end if there is any value to the variation(s). But I wouldn't bet on it.
