Ok, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on which prints are the "holy grails" of different artists. I'll start with a few.

i'll take a stab at my favorite artist, Jay Ryan.

my guess its a tie between these two but i go with the astronauts vs. squirrels even though i doesn't garner as much cash as the dogs. the dogs is definitely harder to grab which makes it more valuable. Image-wise though the astronauts vs. squirrels SCREAMS classic jay ryan.

Nice, I like the astronauts vs. squirrels as well. I don't think that cash value should have to be a requirement for a piece being considered a "holy grail". I base it mostly on its visual appeal.

very nice. personally mine for horkey would be flight of the black osprey followed by the white paper test print of OTA but a custom OTA would be right up there.

There are a lot of desired prints that I'd love, but just don't want to spend a bundle on .... this one, I want to spend a bundle on.
