I've always been interested in special numbers. I had a tendency to search out special numbers, not necessarily the lowest numbers, but rather numbers such as 111, 1111, 222, 2222, etc. I also like sequential numbers such as 123, 1234, 234, 2345, etc.

I also like the low numbers. I had two digit auto ships for years, and bought one of everything just to keep the two digit serial numbers.

When the Founder's Collection became available, I bought several of those to get the single digit. I mainly stayed with the older pieces and pieces from my area.

Nowadays, demand is so low that most people are not willing to pay extra for two or three digit serial numbers. It was a great run while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end.
