I think there is probably some confusion here on TA's part.
I think he's referring to the batch of the exclusives with the Sterling Silver gauntlet that were stolen/lost during shipping from China. What Clay ended up doing was having the pieces remade, and I believe the replacement COAs began with the letter R. Example #R109 of 250, to designate the replacements.
EDIT: Found this in an old thread.
Hello,
I passed your question to Mr. Moore, and he said that the numbers that
were stolen were #1-200, and are considered stolen merchandise by the
FBI.
He is not certain if these stolen items had a certificate of authenticity.
The remanufactured statues have an "R-" followed by the edition number.
Hope that helps!
Take care,

Except that it's a little off, because I have #R-203, so it must have been more than 1-200.
