These were released last week: http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/259618/8-25-16-psst

Santos said they are a 2016 reprinting, exactly the same as the ones from 2011.

Exactly the same? If there is some pressing difference, I may want to pick this up for collect-ability sake.

Made the order for the book over the weekend, after which I picked up a Kala KA-T (tenor) uke...I'm a total novice but already learned Man of the hour and I am Mine...love this instrument! Been going through the worst emotional time I ever have had to face in my life, but this instrument seriously has healing powers.

I wish they'd reissue the Into the Wild t shirt.

I ordered this when it was originally released. I have a Ukelele and was learning so it was a no brainer. Just curious why this was labeled as extremely limited (or something like that) then re-released at a later date, now a re-issue. Why label it "limited edition" in the first place?

I share the same frustration. All for reissuing stuff, but not if its sold as limited, if limited is a selling feature, shouldn't be reissued.

Yep, limited to how many they can sell.

So purchased only in hopes of a future resale?

That's a bogus argument. People don't just collect limited shit for future resale. Reissue a scam.

If value means nothing down the road, honestly why care if they reprint? Serious question here, not trying to come down.

will never understand why anyone cares if a limited item is reissued unless all you are concerned about is resale value.

Because collecting stuff whether it be books, art, coins, stamps etc... there is more value (not necessarily monetary value) in having limited or hard to get items in your collection.

It's not really special to have something in your collection that anyone can get, so when someone sells something as "limited" and it's being used as a unique selling proposition to get someone to buy it, if you care about having unique things in your collection you hope that it being called limited means something. Cause the minute anyone can have it, it means less to your collection.

I enjoy collecting certain things, and some of my favorite pieces in my collection are the ones that are hard to get, it's what makes the hunt fun.

If it was easy to get, then there is no fun in that, hence no value in it being in my collection. I don't collect stuff to retire on, or treat it like the stock market, I do it for fun. Although, if you don't collect anything for fun, probably tough to see it that way.

This isn't a criticism of stuff being reissued either, art gets reproduced all the time, but it's always identified as a reproduction, and usually is obviously one, keeping the "value" (monetary and otherwise) of the original.

It also doesn't mean stuff can't be bought for it's intrinsic value, and that it's always about it's collectability, but that's my reason for not liking something that was previously limited being reissued and how my reason has nothing to do with money.

Example. I got a copy for my father in law. If he sees it on Barnes and noble 50% off table and I gave it to him as a collectible/limited, makes it different. Not same. Not monetary. Not flipping.
