A year from now, there are 150 in collections and 50 just "out there."

Two years from now, there are 190 in collections and only ten left "out
there."

The total number of plates hasn't changed, but the number of plates actually available continues to decrease over time, driving the price up.

At some point, they'll end up like the IdolM@ster Girls plate, where one show up every six months, and if you don't get it then, you MAY never see it again.

There's got to me a thousand Naruto faceplates out there. Where are they? How many War of the World plates are there? DOA Kasumi? Trusty Bell? X-Men? They're out there, they're just not "available" and unlikely to EVER be "available." They're "home" and they're staying there.
thats a great perspective just look at the X05 canada editions i got mine from a canadian and he was reluctant to sell but wanted some money and i believe that some plates have a personal value not just money value because i would never sell my X05 amsterdam since i am dutch but i also will never sell my tags 06 #1 because ITS NUMBER 1 anyways. I believe that some people who dont have collections just dont wanna sell their plates because of a personal value they have to a specific person and so thats why i think there arent any more X05 Canada available for the time being
