The only ethical way of doing a limited edition is to make your print
run, then destroy the masters. That way your buyers can be at least
assured that any future print has to be a reproduction of one of the
originals, and thus not worth as much. Please note that you can do a
run
of 100, sell 10 of them, and still have 90 squirreled away in a box to
sell in the future.
Of course, this does not apply at all to the situation at hand, where
there are actual conventions to be obeyed that will not change just
because you don't like 'em or think they have problems. Like I said
previously, no one in the art community really gives a damn what the
PDML comes up with -- they have their way of doing things, and you can
either join in or not join in, but standing off to the side and telling
them how wrong they are will not get you anywhere, and surely will not
increase your sales.
