A Fascination with Disney

• Limited edition (LE): A Disney item may be limited by a specific, announced number (such as 5,000 or 10,000) or by time period. Disney limited editions show two sets of numbers, usually on the back or base of the item. The higher number indicates the total number produced while the lower number indicates which one you (or a seller) have. Limited editions often come with a certificate of authenticity.
• 30-day firing limit: Companies such as Bradford Exchange, Danbury Mint, and Hamilton Collection frequently set firing limits for Disney collector plates. The company making the plate often sets a limit of 30 firing days, but you may also see higher limits, such as 100-day firing limits.
• Annual edition: Annual edition Disneyana is produced for one year.
• Open edition: Open edition Disneyana is not limited and could still be in production.
• Artist proof (AP): Artist proof Disneyana is art of an edition set aside for the artist.

• MIB or NIB: Mint in Box or New in Box. A new, never displayed item.
• COA: Certificate of Authenticity.
• BNB: Brand new boxed.
