+/- 10% is fairly standard in custom-made manufacturing. I would think that in the case of Limited Collectables, the customers (the record labels) would want to be pretty damn sure there's not an underage - which pretty much guarantees that there will be an overage.

Why someone is taking a sharpie to their back inserts because of simple overages is beyond me....

Let's not forget all CD's get deleted. Usually to be re-released at a lower price point or with extras, or these days download only. I was looking at my classical CD collection (going back to 1984), & it looks like over half of them are no longer in the catalogue.

This is all about the number on the disc. Something that some collectors like, but I could frankly care less about. If the numbers were never there, I wouldn't care at all. The other 2999 copies matter not to me. Nor if that number is 100% accurate. It's the one I own that I care about. I ain't going to sell it, stick it on the shelf and never touch it again. I'm going to play it and read the booklet.

If labels actually were to do this, I'd be all for it! It's not like these labels are coming out and saying "Well, we actually produced LESS than our advertised numbers."
