<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 135405, member: 993&quot;]All I know are antique natural history prints, especially birds.</p><p>Larger and/or more valuable prints (Audubons, Lear toucans, nice large eagles and owls) have held their value and even increased, and sell well for the big dealers like Oppenheimer.&nbsp; They sell less well on ebay, and for less money, but they do sell.&nbsp;&nbsp; The reputation, certification, and good shipping of the Oppenheimer-type stores reassure buyers about parting with big dollars.</p><p>Smaller and/or less expensive prints are dramatically DOWN over the last ten years, due, I think, to people having seen (for example) the little Naturalist&#039;s Library octavos selling for 30-50 dollars @ 2000, and then discovering and dismantling the little books and flooding the market, such that you&#039;re lucky today to get 10 dollars for a print now on ebay.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if this is true for brick/mortars, but I bet it is, unless they&#039;re offering a fancy framed print aimed at buyers who want decorative accent pieces, not collectors.</p><p>Good idea for a thread.&nbsp; Interesting to hear from people about this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
