WHAT IS A LIMITED EDITION PRINT?
The terms Limited Edition Print, Original Print, and Reproduction Print are often confusing. Printing has always been associated with the mass production of the written word or image and so the phrase original print seems a contradiction in terms.
Printmaking as a form of fine art has become distinctly separate from printing as the process of reproducing multiple images.
Printmaker is used to describe an artist who works directly with the medium that will be printed from; as opposed to reproducing an image created in another medium.

Gaining Interest in Sports Collectibles

Vintage sports collectibles are perfect examples of your passion for sports, particularly those with historical value. Just by acquiring a few memorabilia from various sports disciplines is already a great achievement. These may include a set of baseball gear, antique basketball cards, and football uniforms of famous athletes from the past and present. If you put your mind into this venture, you can realise that sports is truly an exciting field that offers a lot of varied opportunities, both for enjoyment and investment.

In fact, most sports enthusiasts use these collectibles to provide a stunning impact for any room. Depending on the individual interest of people, this will determine how artistic they are. Furthermore, there are enthusiasts that value these pieces of sports history for the plan of gaining profits after they have sold the items to interested buyers. This has proven to be a lucrative project, as many of these collectors have acquired a massive amount of money just by selling their collections at various auctions.

Finding these items may seem hard if you are not aware where to begin.

Etching is one of the oldest and most satisfying forms of printmaking and in the hands of a expert can deliver intricacies of line and tone unrivalled by any other printing process.
Etchings are the prints produced by etching an image on a copper or zinc plate, using acid, filling the textures of the image with ink and then printing it on to paper by running it through a heavy press.
