Question
I have a Charles Beckendorf, "whitetail buck and doe running" ETCHING, 1968 series . I looked at his gallery and under History, there is 14 pics that are no longer able to be bought, except from current owners. I am not asking for an appraisal, but curious if it is worth $100.00 or closer to $400.00 or what could it be worth, all original, and have pics I could send.

Answer
If you meant the authorized limited reproduction, then it's between $100 and $400 according to sizes.  The $400 ones are large than 20x30 inches.  The $100 ones are smaller than 15x20.  You can figure it out by measuring the size of yours.

I don't think that these you were referring to are ETCHINGS as in the fine art term.  

A real etching would worth much more than that

Expertise

I can answer ALL questions related to watercolor paintings, except appraisal or artist identification. I can answer general questions about oil, acrylic, Chinese painting, and other media. I am NOT an art appraiser at all for any kind. I can only answer questions in aspects of materials, techniques, and critiques. I do NOT have the access to records of auction, painting pricing, or artist files & works, unlike art gallery dealers or art appraisers. I would not know how much an art piece is worth, but I am only an expert in the "art form" but nothing to do with VALUE.

Experience

Professional watercolorist for decades. Knowledgeable about all media, but not in value or pricing.
