Default Limited Edition New Vinyl

I didn't really want to start a thread for this, but was more excited than usual about the purchase and felt to "tell" somebody. I recently purchased Verve: The Sound of America Collector's Edition. It's a limited-edition 10-LP set featuring some killer albums and is accomanied by a signed copy of the book "Verve: The Sound of America" by Richard Havers. There are only 500 copies. The 10 albums:

Charlie Parker
Charlie Parker with Strings

Count Basie
April in Paris

Billie Holiday
Lady Sings the Blues

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong
Ella and Louis

Stan Getz
Big Band Bossa Nova

Quincy Jones
Big Band Bossa Nova

Bill Evans
Conversations with Myself

The Oscar Peterson Trio
Night Train

Jimmy Smith
The Cat

George Benson
Giblet Gravy

The LPs are all 180g vinyl. I haven't played anything yet; in fact I haven't played any vinyl in a while, but I've started to buy it again despite that. And I have space in my LP rack; the CD rack is full.

I have some Mosaic LP sets which are also limited, but those are usually a few thousand; this is only 500. I feel like a collector, almost! Does anyone else have any limited edition LPs they're excited about?

The shipping would cost me too much.

I got it from Daedalus Books, from their catalog. The website says it's no longer available; don't know if that means not available period or just from them. But it's supposedly limited to 500 copies, a small number.
