The things I find.

Tali was about $350, which is a lot of money. However, I feel relatively confident that it will hold it's value; and if I had to sell it, I wouldn't take a dime less than twice what I paid for it. I'm sure someone would eventually pay it too. Not that I would sell it of course.

The smaller lithograph version of this same image is undoubtedly one of the most desirable of all the ME lithos. It used to routinely sell for right around $350 give or take. Sometimes it would even go for $400. Now admittedly, prices have come down a bit; but it still sells for $250 to $300 regularly.

Since the smaller Tali lithograph still sells for $250 to $300 (and since I've always wanted this image), I figured I'd pay a little more and get the massive giclee.

The fact that this Tali giclee version has already sold out, tells me that interest in this image is still high. None of the other ME Cook & Becker prints have sold out. Tali went fast.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture, but the print is actually huge. I shudder to think what it would cost to have framed. I'd imagine it would easily be $450 to $500 at Michael's; and Michael's is pretty damn inexpensive. I'm sure any other frame shop would want way more than $450.

I don't have any more space on my walls either. So the cost to frame it and the lack of space to display the print means that Tali will be rolled up in a tube for a very long time in all likelihood. Most of my prints are stored in tubes and storage folios for these very reasons. I would still love to get Tali framed one day though.
