Banksy Flag, by kennas on Oct 30, 2008 22:41:36 GMT 1, I'm currently in the process of trying to purchase a banksy flag. Searching throught the nightmare that is e-bay i find
item no 260300115585 and item no 280279297462
The first says it was an edition of 600 and the second says 1000. Which one is correct? To be honest, i get that 'something is wrong' feeling with both items so wont be bidding on either, but would be good to know for next time. Also is there a definitive source where all this is listed? Edition numbers, signed/unsigned, date of release, etc
Kennas
PS if there are any forum members who are looking to sell....

Banksy Flag, by Sundowner on Oct 30, 2008 22:48:36 GMT 1, The Silver "Flag" print was released at Santa's Ghetto in December 2006 and is an unsigned edition of 1,000. You should look to pay about ยฃ500 - ยฃ600 for this, but it is difficult to find in good condition and is printed on photolux paper, which is susceptible to marks/fingerprints/scratches.
The Gold "Flags" print was released at Santas Ghetto in Bethlehem in December 2007, is signed by Banksy and limited to 118 copies. It's much rarer and cost now is probably from about ยฃ5,00 upwards (last one I saw on ebay was ยฃ6,500).
Hope that helps!

I assume when you say I'm tight you meant right? otherwise you know me too well

Banksy Flag, by kennas on Oct 31, 2008 15:06:33 GMT 1, Absolutely love that gold flag, ยฃ4k seems very reasonable as well, although having a fairly small collection, would prefer to drop that sort of money spread between a few prints. A bit more wall coverage!!! Have definately decided to start to tailor my collection towards mr B, so (begrudgingly) would consider swaps for most Banksy prints with D*Face Ha Ha Ha Vhils The unknown icon Bast Mickey ed of 100 Obviously realise values may differ largely, so happy to top up, even more happy to receive cash for the right exchange. Thanks all for PMs will reply now Kennas

Why do you say it is hard to find in good condition? Just due to the photolux paper? Or are there other issues you've seen...
Yes, mainly because of the paper. I've seen a number that have fingerprints and scratches on them. When I bought mine from the Ghetto I had to send back to POW twice as the one I had had dents on the first copy and the 2nd wasn't cut straight at the top edge.
All I'm saying is that its the kind of print you probably want to view or at least ask for close up pics of before you buy as it can get damaged easily.
