I've never gotten a #1. From my experienc Bowen is pretty good with #'s when ordring, meaning they put your name down on when you ordered and ship items from one on up. I had/have under #20 on a few pieces. The last priority preorder I remember from SS was the Joker pf, I literally ordered that in under 30 seconds when that went up and had a # right in the middle of the edition. I used to work at a gallery that sold signed and numbered prints (silkscreens, lithographs, giclees, etc...) and people placed values on numbers that were important to them. Lower #'s were always more desirable. Ultimately, take the piece that's in the best condition, # is secondary.
