18. "But it's the limited edition-ness that gives it value. The authentic-nes..." In response to In response to 13
The one you linked up isn't high dollar art, but still it's a limited edition of 50. Why would they limit production to 50 prints? Because it adds scarcity value. That little number at the bottom signifies that it's the real deal. And there aren't many out there. Your print out isn't the real deal, no matter how good the quality is.
These vids are a similar idea. There can be many like it (on youtube, giphy, etc), but this one here...it's the real one. One of only 3.
It seems silly to me. But not much sillier than paying thousands of dollars for art that can be identically reproduced at a fraction of the price.
