It can be incredibly hard to find the lower number prints.
Also if you're looking at a painting check to see what its painted on, canvas or paper.
Oh and watch for the Robert Bateman mass production style work.
Its hard to collect art for any kind of value strategy. You have to find the right artist at the right time. Buying art for enjoyment or meaning is a fun hobby.
Also dogs playing poker on black velvet is fracking timeliess. Don't buy art with lighting in it, it looks tacky, and Disney cells were the worst investment pieces ever.
