I absolutely do not think so. And that's all I have to say... !

Thanks for the replies. I didnt think the unit number mattered. And no I am not crazy enough to pay more for a lower numbered CD! I was just curious.

I agree the price regardless of the number should be the same.

However if out've 3000 copies you had a choice of owning number 2347 or number 1 which would you rather have??

The Collector's Soundtrack World can be a strange and devious one... everything is relative to say the least!

Even though I personally believe the numbering by hand or stamp for limited releases is really meaningless (it just looks nice), it is very possible for some fanatic collector's to pay an extra amount for certain combinations of numbers.

For example, a particular limited release horror score with a number of 666 would be sort of odd and unique to own.
A Jerry Goldsmith limited score release numbered 0210, 1002 or 1929 would be interesting since he was born February 10, 1929.
Now... Varesende Sarabande's first ever CD Club 1500 limited release ''Cherry 2000'' by Basil Poledouris released back in 1987 with a number of 0001/1500 could definetely fetch more money if re-sold than any other numbered re-sold Varese ''Cherry 2000''.
Imagine if this numbered cd whoever owns is still sealed! It would trully be a collector's item!... at least for some.
It would trully become a super collector's item if Varese stopped releasing CD Club releases altogether like they had done previously but this time for good or even more so, if Varese goes out of business, which personally I don't want to see this happen.

In fact, one copy of the original Varese ''Cherry 2000'' is still the most expensive soundtrack ever sold.
I have no idea what the number was on that particular cd.
