tranemonk Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 okay like all of you who preordered the Hill set, I just got my copy today... I glanced at the boc and it was #1372 of 5000. That means 27% of their supply was preordered... Damn!!!!!!!!!! I looked at the Dexter Gordon set I ordered when that first came out, an my set was #493 of 5,000. Now I know that that there's a lot of Dexter out there but this Hill set must be hot!!!! Impressive......... Quote

It just means they probably got 1500 in at least, and that's the one they grabbed. Why do you think they send them out in numerical order? Quote

It just means they probably got 1500 in at least, and that's the one they grabbed. Why do you think they send them out in numerical order? Okay here's what I'm thinking.. when you get a regular Mosaic box you get #3222 of 5000... I'm not saying that its' mailed out in the exact sequential order. I'm saying that of the 5000 they're printing, you've got #3222. The other 3221 have already gone out... (in whatever order they went out...) So there would be then 1778 left... So with the Andrew Hill set... my point is that they have already sold (based on preorders alone) at least 1372 or 27% of their production total... Which (to me) means this set is selling really well.... Am I making sense? Quote
Ron S Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) Actually, while Mosaic does sequentially number the regular box sets as orders are filled, I don't think that's true of the prenumbered Selects. They just grab one at random from their current stock and beam it to your doorstep. Edited February 19, 2005 by Ron S Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) The printer of the boxes stamps the numbers on the boxes, the cartons of boxes are shipped to the pressing plant, day laborers at the pressing plant assemble and recarton the product, put it on a truck and ship it to Mosaic. I wonder what the order the boxes is? Random? BINGO! BTW, I ordered the John Patton Select a month (or so) after the release and I got set number 0006. Edited February 19, 2005 by Chuck Nessa Quote
Ron S Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 day laborers at the pressing plant assemble and recarton the product, put it on a truck and ship it to Mosaic. How can you be so sure that some aren't assembled by the NIGHT shift??? Quote
jazzbo Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I would bet that about 1500 were printed in this first run, but there could be 1200 sitting in the warehouse tonight, or more. It's not easy to say what the numbering means at this time if you're not Mosaic staff. I just got #0314 at my house. . . . Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I just got #0314 at my house. . . . #0310 here. Quote
Ron S Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I just got #0314 at my house. . . . #0310 here. Oh my gosh--only 4 numbers apart! It's kismet! Quote

I don't know about any "day laborers," but I'm pretty sure tiny cobbler elves mend Michael Cuscuna's shoes in the middle of the night... Quote

I didn't get the Patton until 7 months after it was out and I got #0022. rod --- Now playing: Curtis Amy - If I Were A Bell Quote
wesbed Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I sent an email to Mosaic regarding this numbering question and here's the answer: The numbers on Mosaic sets are sequential as the order is placed. The system assigns the next number which you may have noticed is on the invoice that is sent to you. That number is then written in the booklet at the time of packing. There can be some exceptions such as when a set is returned and that number is then recirculated back into the system. For Mosaic Selects, we get an initial delivery of the first 750 - 1000 sequential numbers. They are randomly picked. After that first pressing, the sets are picked at random. Quote
tranemonk Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Posted February 19, 2005 thanks man.... appreciate that... Quote
JSngry Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 I got #311. Seems like there's a possible "Organissimo Cluster" developing... Lotto time? Quote
jazzbo Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Man, that Patton set sure isn't selling! Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 All need to remember the first post mentioned the number on the "boc". Anyone else get a boc? If not, I don't think anyone needs to worry about this. Quote
