hot-sauce Collecters Editions

OK I have seen lots of sauce makers making Collectors Editions. What makes the sauce a collectors edition? And can an ameture sauce maker that is crossing over to professional release a Collectors Edition as their first commercial sauce?

The reason I ask it I am thinking of for my first commercial sauce, making a collector sauce that will be a limited run of maybe 100 - 150 bottles.
 
Now adays it seems like if you stamp the words "Collectors Edition" on it, then it is a collectors edition (Blair, I'm looking at you ;) ). But generally, a limited, numbered of bottles released makes it really collectable. Also, signing them doesn't hurt either.

For your first run, I would suggest staying away from collectors bottles In order to get people wanting more of your sauces (ie: returning customers) you want them to like the taste of the sauce. People don't open and try collector's bottles (well, people besides me ;) ).
 
OK I can see your point....get my customers hooked on the taste then do the collectors sauce if I want to...Sounds reasonable.
 
Yep... But MSK (who's on another pepper forum...) got one of my sauces at the Fiery Foods Show, made my sign it, and vowed never to open it.

I told him that I'm not a pro, and I just wanted him to taste it and let me know what he thinks. It didn't matter. He's got a signed, unlabeled bottle of my Nuclear Scurvy.
 
Ha....thanks man!

Here's the prototype label....and many thanks to Uncle Big for his Photo Shop skillz!!!

DD - that looks very cool!
& please dont take this the wrong way, but that skull & crossbones in the black square kinda looks like it should be a on shirt or something, instead its just there.

what about not having it on the duck or put something else there instead ? like a chile thats been burned/tattooed into the duck or some other devilish symbol, since you're going for a devil duck not a pirate duck.
plus skull & crossbones are so over used, just like when people put flames on their cars/trucks
like the rest of the millions of people that do.

thats just my .02 but other than that its kickass.
 
Well, there's a reason for the Jolly Rodger.

See, I belong to a Datsun/Nissan Z car club and we are all Bastard Pirates...don't ask...

I held a contest to name my sauce (the winner got a few bottles) and that was the winning name. Same with "Barnacle Remover". So the pirate flag will stay, I just don't know where.
 
ok then what about just getting rid of the black part of the flag, so the skull/crossbones look like they're tattooed or burned into the skin of the duck ?
that black flag or at least the black part of it just looks like it doesnt belong.

just my .02
I assume you were kinda asking what others thought of this label, like you did for your other prototype labels.

does this sauce have any extract in it ?
