Hope Chest, thanks for reviewing this. Upon further review of the label you are correct. If you look at my label you can see that the words "ing on BLACK VELVET..." are darker than the line below. I had thought that the line below was in a lighter typeface that was spliced in later in order to change the price but it seems to just be a printing variation/uneven printing of the label causing darker, heavier ink on one line and lighter ink coverage on the line below containing the "$2,000"

See the image of my label which has the same text but the price has been raised to $2000 (note it is in a different typeface than the rest of the label)...

Otto, Thanks for your information. I agree that the $info on the label is a different typeface although they did a pretty good job on the insertion.

Actually, I disagree with this. The zeros on Otto's label for the "$2,000" are typographically consistent with the other zeros in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs. Furthermore, these are obviously entirely different labels. The main difference is that ukutiki's label is missing the "Copyrighted. No copying permitted." legend above the painting number that Otto's has. The other differences are in the 4th paragraph of the bio - the beginning of the first sentence is different and ukutiki's label has one additional sentence at the end of the paragraph.
