I thought this was a Tiki Central Exclusive? Any time you hear the words 'artist's proof', you're dealing with a whole different set of rules. The run may be extremely limited or there could be a fair number of them knocking about. Sometimes their value exceeds the original limited run, while other times they struggle to be sold. Sometimes the artist will just give them to their mates, sometimes they sell them on. Sometimes they like having them so they can write on a more personal message. Bottom line is that they are the artists and they can do with them whatever they see fit. BTW, I'm stunned by the fine array of artist's proofs on offer in London. Great stuff there. Trader Woody
