I could be wrong but I think adding additional services to the art eliminates the signature on the front. I may get mine framed but that's because my frame shop can't order glass large enough, I imagine the gloss would really make Falling look great, find out if you miss out on a signature of you get it done
As stated previously: Yes, it does.

It always does with C&B. Acryllic and gloss that is.

I think you have two different markets for these prints. Art collectors will not pay $5 if you get gloss poured on them, but they also are not the ones buying these cand prints. Video game collectors on the other hand seem to not care as long as it rare and an official release. You will be fine as long as the person you are trying to sell to does not collect art and video games. Though since I have not seen a single candb giclee on ebay it seems everyone buying is keeping them for themselves and is as long as you like it that is all that matters.

I noticed that as well just thought I would have a look if any have been put on eBay (not that im planning on selling mine but always nice to know) and couldn't find any which is a good sign I guess.

Decided on getting mine unframed for now, has anyone had any prices on getting them framed independently (the smaller prints) as will get it framed at some point?

I'm a pretty big art and lithograph collector (probably 30+ prints by now) and mulled on the decision of picking up one of these for a while and decided to bite the bullet and order an Elizabeth print (#6). It took me a while to justify it, especially with 30 dollar shipping, but ultimately I decided to pick it up. 18x31 is a reasonable size and the price wasn't that much for museum-grade quality.

I got it unframed, I will just matte it on a 24x36 frame I have and would prefer the signature on the front anyway. Cool to those of you that got in on the 5 run print of the massive size. 29x51 is wayyyy too big for me personally, even if the print would look stunning up in front of a couch or something. No room to store a thing that size if it's not up anywhere!

The landscape of the game is simply beautiful and will be a nice picture for a wall to add a breadth of scenic blue and the great building architecture.

I don't see myself ordering a lot of prints from C&B, but I think I could get one once and a while if it really pops out to me.
