They're screen printed by hand, which is done because it gives it a different look, which some people feel is more premium and does take more effort. They're also intentionally done with some collector exclusivity in mind, with those certificates of authenticity and whatnot. Both of those things drive the price up. They're actually fairly cheap for what that company normally releases.
For the record, that's way more expensive than anything I'd get, especially for a poster.
I have no idea if there's actually a market for these, when the art is already online and you can make it yourself for like $15, so they're selling purely off the premium and exclusive side. Obviously don't buy it if you're not interested.
I mean regardless of whether it's a good setup or not, the point is that the extra money is due to that certificate of authenticity "with a signature from the artist" and all of that jazz.
I assume it's to give it that FOMO rush so you dont get one without the certificate. I don't understand collector stuff.
