Also, practically ALL games are made in production runs, meaning they are all in effect limited edition. More popular games tend to get reprinted, but most move in and out of print. With periodical crowdfunding campaigns and long pledge managers, CMON games are more available than many other great games.
This is a great point and very important. Most boardgames are only available for a short time after they're produced and then they disappear, because the hobby game market is too weak to support anything but a very few titles as evergreen.
