Adam Neate's Bigger Picture...oops., by Deleted on Apr 11, 2014 8:44:01 GMT 1, Hi,
Laid flat it was, never seen the light of day, one of 75, always thought that it would be one for the future. I did wonder how much it was worth (I reckoned about ยฃ900) given it's pristine never framed condition.
Then my Dad dropped it and creased it, he's just fessed up as it was kept round his house. I've not seen it yet but I fear the worst.
How much value has it lost if:
a. it's barely noticable
b. it's horrendous (I think I know the answer here)

Adam Neate's Bigger Picture...oops., by Deleted on Apr 11, 2014 10:09:32 GMT 1, This discussion of damaged prints always creases me up. ( see what I did there ? ).
major folding in half, rips or desiccated ejaculate aside, does it really matter whether something is 98 or 99.9% mint ? It does seem to a very male, OCD like fetish for 99.99999999999999999999999% perfect prints- few of which seem to get framed up and displayed. even stashing stuff in a folder is invariably going to end in tears unless you never ever open it
Meself, I have been guilty of storing stuff away - but mainly because I am a lazy slob who never gets things done. none of my prints are 99.99%, maybe 99.89 - these were ยฃ50 / ยฃ200 screenprints when new, usually stuffed into a tube by a cack handed proto hipster - they were never meant to be stored away in an underground vault with the deeds to the house and the family silver.
enjoy the scuffs, rolling marks and minor dings.

Adam Neate's Bigger Picture...oops., by alittle on Apr 11, 2014 12:31:47 GMT 1, (a) If not to image area, very little of the value will be lost
(b) About 25-50% of the value of a mint copy.

Adam Neate's Bigger Picture...oops., by Trevorm on Apr 11, 2014 15:49:05 GMT 1, V, I feel your pain!
If it's a. give it the brown paper, de ionised water spray and medium hot iron treatment. Get some practice in first but you'll find that it works a treat. Alternatively, get the beers in and I'll drop by with the Morphy R!
If b. You're probably looking at 150 to 200 of the ยฃ's (more or less obviously according to the extent of the damage). I've just picked up a print that Graham B had done some work on and the charge was in the aforementioned range.
Best thing to do apart from all that remediation stuff is to get it framed, bang a masonry nail in the wall and bosh it up somewhere where it won't suffer any further damage!
