Prints used to ensure that the color (and everything else) is to the liking of the artist. According to one source, Shepard Fairey keeps prints 1-20 of each of his prints, and sells the APs to make up for this gap. (Site Administrator notes: I'm not sure how true this is, because I have personally received a print numbered 20 directly from Obey Giant.)
Some people say that the APs are worth more, while others say they are worth no more than a numbered print. They are only worth more if the demand is greater than that for the numbered prints, which is usually the case. Because of this, APs consistently sell at auction for more than their numbered counterparts.
