You might need to add a bit more about this print and the quality of the framing.
Limited editions are generally only worth a premium over the original selling price if they are in original condition i.e. exactly as they were the day they were printed.
If selling a framed print the buyer would need to assured that UV filtering glass has been used and that the print has been correctly mounted (reversible method) to an under mount and that the top mount(s) are of conservation quality.
Looking at the brown edges of the bevels of the mount it would suggest that a low quality mount card has been used and this brown is acid coming out of the board which will also now be affecting the paper of the print.
Good luck with your sale but I would suggest taking your other one to a reputable framer for assessment and to protect your investment. You can find good framers here: Fine Art - Welcome to the Fine Art Trade Guild but look for one that has taken the Commended Framer qualification.
