<p>[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 142844, member: 993"]Natural history prints are undervalued. They were very sought-after and well-valued in the early 2000s, inspiring people to find, buy, and tear up old books (for example, Jardine's Naturalist's Library volumes) and then post the individual prints. The market got totally inflated. One of Lear's birds from the aforementioned volumes fetched 20-30 dollars at the height of the market. Today, even his most popular parrots will sit around with no bids at 10 dollars.</p><p>Same with the higher-end prints. Another Lear example... I have a Lear parrot that was valued at about 3000 in the early 2000s; I believe I could have sold it for about that on eBay then. Presently, I doubt I could sell it there for 1500.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
