Back Numbered Plaques

    description
    A numbered plaque is a small engraved plate fitted to a machine built in a capped run, carrying that machine's own number within the run. It travels with a certificate of authenticity, and it is the piece of a limited edition that cannot be reproduced afterwards. The plaque belongs to a commercial arrangement rather than to the game: the same design sold at two or three specification levels, with the dearest level limited to a stated number of machines. [[manufacturer:stern-pinball]] listed "1-500 Numbered plaque and certificate of authenticity" among the limited-edition-only features of *[[model:transformers-limited-edition]]* in 2011, with 125 more numbered machines each in the [[model:transformers-autobot-crimson-limited-edition]] and [[model:transformers-decepticon-violet-limited-edition]] trims.[1][2] The wording has barely moved since: *[[model:transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye-limited-edition]]* is capped at 750 machines worldwide and ships with a sequentially numbered plaque and a signed certificate.[3][4] The practice is not one firm's. [[manufacturer:turner-pinball]] caps *[[model:merlins-arcade-legendary-edition]]* at 500 machines, each numbered and accompanied by a signed certificate, and leaves its cheaper edition unnumbered and unlimited.[5][6] [[manufacturer:pedretti-gaming]] gave *[[model:funhouse-remake-limited-edition]]* a numbered metal plaque and a certificate signed in the name of the game's talking head.[7] That contrast with the cheaper edition is the point of the thing. Much of what separates the tiers — code, a shaker motor, a topper — can be bought later as an upgrade kit and fitted to a machine that shipped without it.[8] The number cannot, and the plaque is what fixes a machine's place in a run that is closed.
