It doesn't devalue the original. It's like saying a Collector's edition is worth less because the publisher printed the same game in a standard plastic case.

You have limited editions and open editions just like videogames. That's how I see it.

It is not a reprint of the limited edition. It does devalue the limited edition, sure, but they are not the same. More of a variant open edition of the image kind of like the C&B giclee's.

From what I can tell the Bronco screen print and Trio lithographs sold buy irrational are the exact same as the open editions (size, print technique, image, ect..) except they are signed and numbered. That's not limited. That's just a signed print.

I found a jewel at my EB games store today. I manage to get a Portal Gun by NECA limited at 5000 copies. Big box but never though finding that now while the game was out awhile ago

I know that most stickers, even tape, contain Chloride. Chloride is very detrimental to various types of metals causing pitting corrosion including stainless steels and high-alloyed materials. Can't be good to have it on works of art. Chloride is in the acid family.

Now you got me all paranoid. I still haven't taken the stickers off.

Aren't giclees usually acid resistant or something like that?

Oh my, where might have you have gotten that idea? There are a vast array of different quality of papers and inks which affect the durability/longevity of a print, but the only thing I can think of that would make paper resistant to acid is a gloss coating.

Giclees aren't naturally acid resistant and most labels/stickers contain chloride or other.

I didn't read the whole thread but if you're talking about C&B stuff...

Our labels/stickers are all archival quality and therefore contain no acids whatsoever. These labels you can safely stick on the back of your giclee or print.
