Except that "cranking out" dismisses the actual amount of time and materials
required to make a print which its creator would actually sign.

What is the total number of Pepper #6 prints in existence?
How many prints of Pepper #6 did Edward Weston make and sign himself?
How many did another family member make and sign?

I'd guess that Pepper #6 prints
in fine condition
signed by a Weston
remain relatively rare.
Why?
Because it's not all that easy to make a fine print.
