before i say anything, merry christmas to everyone.
so in the recent release of S&M v5, i was just surfing through ebay and ran into some past S&M cards.

Its just a reference link on ebay on wat i saw, so no need to click it.
Back to the main question.
I do understand why such decks as jerry's nugget is so expensive. because it is actually 40 years old, old finishes, etc.
but why cards like S&M, which can be manufactured as much as there needs to be, are being made as a 'limted edition'?
shouldnt cards be just Cards? just made for people to use for their magic, flourish, etc.?
its not like the quality changes because there are less of them in the world.
i guess having something that not everyone has makes to a little happier but should that really matter on what you do?
What are your thoughts on this?
ps. i was just in the mood for some serious talk . and again, Merry Christmas! (cuz i wont be able to say it again on the actual day)
