Limited edition vs limited release vs open edition
Ok, so I know limited edition is pretty self explanatory, but then we come to the grey area (or at least I think so, lol)...limited release and open edition pins. On pinpics, they are treated the same, buy I've always felt like they were closer to a limited edition pin with an unknown release number not a pin that meets it's fate when it stops selling well at the parks. I know there are some of the older pins that are technically limited release pins, but they are listed as limited edition size unknown on pinpics...so I guess all my rambling is this...how are OE pins equal or not equal to limited release pins, or do you regard them as the same in trades as a rack pin? It's been one of those things that kinda bothers me at times(I know, we all have our problems, lol, some just seem to be more strange than others).
