RE: [Digital BW] limited Edition.

While I hesitate to lengthen this thread, the above factor was a significant
one in convincing me to avoid the limited edition (usually fiction).  (I at
first had experimented with an overly complex "market split" -- relatively
cheap, non-limited EEM prints and more expensive, limited acid free ones.  I
think I was the only one who understood what was going on, so it was a waste
of time.)

Other factors I've heard that probably apply to me as well are that most
will never reach the "limit" they set.  As such, they may be (theoretically)
decreasing the value of their work.

I've read that there is no correlation between limited edition photos and
price.

My buyers seem to not care a bit about whether the editions are limited or
not.  Then again, most of my buyers are not sophisticated collectors.
