Glad you are learning more about prints. Woodblock prints can be numbered too, just fyi. Thx for taking my online class. Happy hunting

Found my first lithograph/print at at local goodwill. The first thing I noticed was that it was professionally framed locally. “Why would someone spend money to frame a print?” 218/1000 by a French artist names Jovan Obican…which I thought was O’Brien.🤣🤣🤣 I was so happy to find it because I’ve always felt I have an eye/interest in art.🙏🙏🙏

Great work! IMO, prints tend to get overlooked and are commonly underpriced. They can hold great value though!

I believe you were looking for the words “optical brightener.” I work in the gravure printing industry and we use it in our varnishes and inks. We constantly analyze our printing with spectrophotometers and loupes so a lot of what you said resonated with me! Awesome tips man! I’m on the lookout for artwork now when I’m at estate sales, etc.

Yes! Thank you! For the life of me I could not remember, so I had to stumble through a fair explanation at best haha. This was a tip I learned from Dr. Lori when I first started treasure hunting and has helped me a lot along the way. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!

Great video! I wanted to know how tell the difference between an etching and a lithograph. I'm still not a 100% sure about that one but this video is definitely very informative. Thanks a lot. 😊

one point he said is that etchings usually are embossed from the plate used to print them. this is very different than lithographs in which its very rare for the paper to be larger than the stone/plate it was printed on. etchings will also be more of thin lines, which can be found in lithographs, but etchings wont have the larger solid blocks or smooth transitions of positive to negative space (or between colors)

01:30 Handsigned and numbered means it's a fairly new 20th century print 02:10 Artists often do multiple editions of 500 etc 2:20 AP or EA, artist proof or epreuve d'artiste, in printmaking basically means these were rejects not good enough for numbered editions and less valuable 4:00 Japanese prints are relief prints... Stories every other week of finding $20K prints for $20, usually shin-hanga, and usually in North Eastern states or CA.

Hi. Great vid. I recently came across a print that was very large size framed under the glass. I liked it and it was very appealing but I did not bought it...because of the size. Only at home I thought that maybe to try and sell without the frame? It could be rolled and shipped inside the tube. Have you ever tried? What's the pro's and con's o that idea?

@TreasureHuntingDad 2 жыл бұрын

Very good idea, and yes, I have done this. Although it can be more difficult to sell on platforms like Etsy. At least in my experience, people tend to look for pieces they can receive and hang. That being said, there are also a lot of buyers who prefer to match a frame to their decor. In the end, it all comes down to what you can buy the piece for and what you can resell it for :)

@christiekaye5013 4 ай бұрын

Yes, & framing can be quite costly! Especially with a large piece. 😊

Very informative, thanks so much! Do you sell on Chairish? Is it lucrative? I sell lots of vintage and antiques as well and mostly sell on Etsy and eBay but am wondering if it’s worth looking into.

@TreasureHuntingDad 2 жыл бұрын

I do! Although I definitely do not sell nearly as much on Chairish as I do on Ebay or Etsy. Not to say it's a bad platform though! I only have around 40 listings on Chairish :) It's definitely worth creating a store

Hey I just came across your video I can't tell if the artist signed it it has a Smithsonian tag on it in another tag on it but somehow piece fell off and then someone moved it from where it was so another piece came off so only the Smithsonian tag is on the back it has glass covering in front in paper like old looking wire on the back

Does a lazer printer leave symmetrical circles like your jeans under a microscope??? The example of more recent lazer pointers wasn't up close.

Can anyone tell me if the baseball player image used as an example of wood engraving print technique, is categorized correctly? I don't think that's an example of wood engraved printing, but I could be wrong. I would be interested to know.

Signing the “Plate”….Is a new development….Quality Art pieces should have only one….I repeat “One” signature….The quality of the print/and paper these newer “Signed” pieces are lower in value….An easier way to sell “Signed” Pieces….Advise collectors to carry a “Loop” with them to see “Dot matrix” and a richer quality to the paper….

@TreasureHuntingDad 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! I appreciate the clarification. I totally agree with your comment, although there is no harm in picking up a lower quality print for a low price that still turns a nice resale profit! Of course, as long as the seller properly lists it as such :)

I have five etchings by Lee Sturges they range from 102 to 90 years of age. All five prints are signed and dated in the plate and signed in pencil. So even though this is a good assumption to judge by, there are always exceptions to the rule.

Congrats! You passed 1,000 subscribers and you just got one more with me! Terrific video! It is my fault, not yours, that I'm still confused over what I'm looking at here.😕 Based on what I just learned from you, I think it's a lithograph. It is identified along the bottom just like the Currier and Ives you show, and the dots are irregular. However, there's a peculiarity about my print in that all the fine details are outlined in silver which is raised -- like, overstamped?? The outlines can be felt, and go through to the back, and are readily visible. You don't cover such a thing in this video. Maybe the next?? Please???
