Btw does dibond mean you can't ever open it, if so I worry about value getting hurt. Also I think I read that if you choose it framed you only get it signed twice rather than 3 times. I would like all three sigs. Let's you know it's a for real piece if ken has to sign it 3 times, kind of cool. Front, back, and certificate get signed. I think if you frame from them the front won't be signed, but I could be wrong
They are pouring a liquid over the surface of the print to complete the process, so it's not reversible. I highly doubt the value would be lessened though, just my personal opinion.

You are right that you only get 2 signatures if you go that route, but as far as authenticity is concerned, I think the dual signatures on the back should be enough for anyone to recognize the legitimacy of the print. And the signature on the front would be covered by a frame anyway.

I'm not trying to convince you to go one way or another (although reading my comments back it sounds like I am). Just throwing out what I see as the "pros" of going this route versus framing.
