I would really like to see a 6/150 type thing, marking which number in the limited run you got. Most limited shirt companies print them like this. I wouldn't even mind if the price went up a 1$ or so for this.
It would be cool if you got 1/150 or 150/150 :P

The problem is that there isn't an easy way to number the shirts that is also fair. You basically have two options:
1) You can number them based on the sequence they were ordered -- this is fair but it ain't easy. It adds a lot of work and that drives up the cost and slows down production, which slows down shipping, which slows down delivery...
2) You can pre-print and pre-number the shirts the way Endangered Wear does. This is much easier, you grab a stack of shirts, flip them over and print your x/150 (EW puts the number on the back, just below the neck). The problem with pre-numbering is that it isn't fair. If you buy a Men's L from Endangered Wear you are guaranteed to NOT get 1/150 because they number the XS first, then S, then M, etc. You can be the first buyer of a design but if you buy a Men's XXL you may get 141/150 because they only printed 10 at that size and they are numbers 141-150. If you care about the number then you're screwed unless you are the size of an Olympic gymnast, and if you don't care about the number then why bother printing it on the shirt? Since TF prints on demand this isn't a practical option so you're left with #1.
If you really want your shirt to say 1/150 just buy some ink from the craft store and a stencil, or a fabric pen.
However one thing we might be able to is print this info on a card or something in the packaging - however I think everyone would feel better if this money was spent better with stickers, pencils, tatoos etc.
