Question I recently received a limited edition print (272/275) of a lithograph by Jose Puig Marti. It was issued by The Collectors Guild LTD. The subject is a large standing cat with bushy tail curved up and over the head. How can I find an approximate value as I'm considering selling it? Thanks for any help you can offer.
Answer I have, in fact, found one web site that has one of his prints for sale. And there is a price of $15 for a lot of 3 prints. Here is the link to that site.
Finally, another site that has a print of Marti's listed for $35.00.
As you can see, there is a great range of prices of Marti's work. You piece is from a rather large edition (which reduces the value), you can certainly contact one of the sources I have given you to explore what the going price for your print is.
