guys, I need your help - I have a chance to get my hands on a black dissected print, but the thing is that it has some wrinkles on it:

so I was wondering how much of the value does it lose because of it?!

thanks in advance for all the inputs...

Is that the only wrinkle in it?

Almost looks like it was caused during printing. I say that because doesn't look like the paper is creased or anything. That's the best picture of the 'varnish' look that I've seen and I'm wondering if something like that could be restored.

All depends on what the seller is asking for it and if he's willing to negotiate. Offer him $1375 and see what he says. If he's going to balk at lowball, then go up to $1600.

These don't come up very often, so if you can get it for a fair price I would. Good luck.

Any the printer of this I can assure you that this was not a print flaw. All of the prints that were signed were flawless. Kaws would not have signed them otherwise trust me.
The paper is Somerset Radiant White 500 gsm. If any restoration is to be done it needs to be done from the back only as working on this from the front will the varnish (scuff it most likely).
