Nathan, Limited edition steins, numbered and in quantities of 5,000 to 10,000 and some are not even made in Germany, have become popular in recent years. These are not antique steins. They generally sell at a discount to the original list price. It will probably be some time, if at all, for them to become collectible and valuable. Some,such as Bud steins and Schultz and Dooley steins, have their own clubs, which helps to keep up the interest in them. If you are interested in antique German beer steins, you should consider joining SCI and participating in the meetings of local chapters to learn more about antique beer steins so you can invest your money wisely.
