<DIV><BR></DIV>here's the wikipedia entry on "artists proof":<BR><A
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist%27s_proof"
target=_blank>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_proof</A><BR>as far as i
know, they artists proofs *are* legit; they are done in advance of the rest
of ltd runs - i actually have an artists' proof of the first alex ross wb
store plate, done about 10 years ago; i ordered one from a wb store, and
they were unable to get one, because it had just sold out. however,
the store *was* able to get me an artists' proof - it is identical in every
way, except where it says "number ___ of ____", it has the words "artist
proof", instead of a number.<BR>i would say this item is on the
up-and-up.<BR>nick<BR><BR>
