A lower serial number should not cost any more than a higher one. (But a first edition is worth more than a second edition.) Is this the case with tiki mugs? Should we be more excited that this mug indeed was #1? Or can is it valued the same as # 78 or #111, for example. Manic, yes there's a big difference when it comes to tiki mugs. A ceramic mold has a life span of about 150 castings. As such, the first mug produced from that mold will have the crispest, sharpest lines.
