I read an article once (can't remember where, sorry!) that baasically the coin magazines and those who make the coin folders essentially decide what 'extra dates/varieties' get published or get a slot in the coin book. This essentially drives demand as people then feel like they need to have that coin to finish their collection. So what is the incentive for them to add dates? I mean, what's in it for them?

The manufacturers secretly bought thousands of the "added coins" prior to publishing. Then they sat back and waited for the prices to rise, sold, and made millions $$$. Just MHO.
