Print numbers and collectability, by ratpack on Sept 15, 2006 14:11:41 GMT 1,
Hi there,
I wondered if anybody knew if the lower the number of the print the more collectable it is and is a higher value? or if the last number is sought after etc?
Does anyone have any number 1's?

Print numbers and collectability, by monochrome on Sept 15, 2006 14:40:03 GMT 1, it's unusual for anyone to get the first print as the artist usually keeps that for themselves.
but numbers are not important at all. don't believe what you read on eBay.

Print numbers and collectability, by mido on Sept 15, 2006 15:50:40 GMT 1, sellers occassionally try to 'big it up' if they have a low number, or an even number (e.g. 100/250) but most buyers don't care.
As a huge generality they are sold in order so general early numbers mean they got in their first. It can therefore also mean that earlier numbered ones of some prints may have no stamp, or a different stamp to one currently used. Again, that is not always true in every case. Ironically it can help sometimes as being a bit of a suspicious person if I was buying a second hand print (without provenance) of a print that had some with a stamp and some without, I would generally prefer one with a POW stamp on it than one without....
Note - no need for 100 replies pointing out small anomalies in the numbering. In general they ARE sold in order.
