But there is the chance that they are hits and in the rush to own mugs people buy extra, kick the price way up and put them on E-bay the same day, I still only got $25.00 a mug, Oh but wait...I'm gonna get bank for the next edition eh? I don't really care for Picasco's stuff, (all in all) but I willingly paid thousands for a litho, I have a better appreciation for his work owning a piece and because it was difficult to obtain (spell that $$$) It helped my appreciation. All of that to say this, The mugs on E-bay did NO dis-service to the artists, even if it was not the coolest mug ever, the fury over it has increased the value and "have to have" Does that make sense?
