I've seen that Riot Cop for sale before, was it pulled from an auction sale though? It doesn't really look up to Banksy's standard.

that was the canvass that the student bought with his loan and sold at sothebys was it not. did he not get 60,000 for it

With Sotheby's now selling street pieces(which is something they said they would do with authentication carried out by their own in house experts) I am concerned that more street art is gonna go missing if not applied to solid structures.

About a year ago I struck a deal to buy the following piece (right Riot Cop on photo) A mate of mine was already on the case and I ended up missing out on the deal! Many on here did not think the piece was real, well looking at that cop from Andipa and this one there is NO comparison, I have seen this in the flesh and the story of its origins have been followed up and proved to be true! How much then for this little beauty in todays market!?

Has anybody seen this before? I know what it went on to become but this board seems to be a test. Monkey has a funny little thing coming from his ear which I do not recognise. Going to view it tomorrow. [img src="i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd234/carleverybody/Banksytestprint2.jpg"][/img]
