It goes much further than that.

When a well-known photographer is handled by multiple 
galleries around the country, and one gallery sells a print from a 
photographer, they somehow contact the other associated 
galleries and inform them of that. The other galleries then raise 
the price of the image to the next pricing level.

I have heard it discussed on this list that the tiers are five or ten. 
But I've also heard tiers of one. In that, print one is x dollars, print 
#2 is x+y added amount, and on down the line.

Here is an example of a five-tier:

And I might add, some quite fine work...
