No, not at all. It is a bias well past its fly by date, IMHO. I have
digitally printed signed, numbered, limited editions of Ted's work as well.

If you want HCB, estate stamped, look for Magnum posters, It all depends on
whether you want - something iconic on your wall to enjoy, or an
investment, It is all up to you.
