Artist proof are definitely much rarer, not necessarily more valuable though.

Buy artist proof only if you trust seller for 100%.
A lot of fakes & recasts have artist proof instead of LE number on the base.

Wow, lotrcollector. You are certainly starting up a lot of threads this morning. As Artist Proofs are usually reserved for those in the industry, they are usually more rare. Usually. However, the previous poster is correct in that recasters have been using Artist Proofs on their recasts as a way to try to get around the edition numbers, which people already own. One wrong number and then everybody knows the seller is a recaster 100%.

You seem to have a lot of similar questions. Can we combine these threads?
