Similarly, I have a friend who is in the comic book industry. When he does signings, he brings a bunch of his original work (covers, pages, etc.) with him to sell. He has about 5-10 pieces that he prices at 10x the similar pieces. One time I asked him why cover x was so much more expensive than cover y from the same series.

He said that he's particularly proud of those pieces and that price pretty much guarantees that whoever buys it will take care of it. They'll put it in a proper frame and display it somewhere where it can be appreciated. As opposed to the less expensive pieces which may go in a sleeve and put on a shelf.
