I'd be willing to make that same bet George. I did 9 Silver exhibits the last 
couple years, and have completed two All ink shows with two more ink exhibits 
this year. If they like your work and think it will sell then they won't care 
if its silver or ink. I can say however that if you offere a choice they take 
Silver. You'd be surprised how many well established gallery photography 
dealers don't know that much about the photographic processes, they just have 
a pretty good idea of what they can sell. The collector market may be a 
little more finicky, but thats less than 5% of photograhic print sales.Look 
at what sells and you'll know if your work will fit or not. 
My prints don't have that air dried luster of a silver print(I miss that)but 
they are better in so many other ways. My silver prints where average quality 
 made from digital negs. Most dealers didn't understand at all what I was 
doing. Getting my xray work shown has been easy, next year I hope to have 
some good enough camera images to add to the mix which will be much, much 
tougher..
