In the collection im helping to sell are a set of signed and dated Japanese big issue posters and i have a set of 4 magazines signed and doodled from the set i had. 

Might be looking to sell these as a set, and wondering if anyone has even seen a complete set like this and a guide for value.

I suppose it all depends on proof of authenticity

As with all things ephemera, not a lot. Stik is a mate, so mine were done in front of me, the others came from mikeydread, so also straight from STIK. Theres a receipt from dread on a NHS stik baby postcard but it has other bits bought at the same time on it too (show cards and newspapers).

It’s a bugger with anything signed by Stik, just as you said. None of the provenance is worth anything tangible. Best bet is auction I reckon. 

I sokd a set of unsigned japanese posters to someone on here. A month later they appeared at Chiswick auction, but were suddenly signed. He hadn’t even bothered to change the frames. 

[Pistol]

I have a set of unsigned ones and would rather have them than signed ones with no providence.
I could quite easily make mine a signed set. 😉

I agree. If he didn’t sign them in front of you then there’s absolutely no point in paying the premium for signed. 

No offence to the original poster of course - absolutely not suggesting that his are not genuine. Just that provenance is impossible therefore meaningless.

Direct from his friends couldnt be much of a safer source. Shame as they are possibly the only set like it. 

Going to need to be someone that knows his sigs well enough for themselves to get this done.

Or just pop it into one of those lower tier auction houses that don’t really question anything - someone will pay a pretty penny for them. 

Again, genuinely not suggesting that yours aren’t real.

Your good, its fair comment. 

Kinda in the process of that already, just thought i would see the feelings here.

You could easily make yours a fake signed set, but not a real one. Im pretty sure anyone that really knows his sigs will be able to sus these out.

These are gifts that i know are both direct from stik, id say theres a pretty big difference. Hes also been a mate of mine for over a decade, and a good one. Im hardly going to try selling anything with any doubt to it am i. 

[Pistol]

Stiks signature must be one of the easiest to forge and I would guess that the majority of signed items out there are fake (imo) not doubting yours at all in any way shape or form my point is just that I wouldn’t take anyone’s ‘word’ that they are genuine unless it was the artist or squarity that confirmed it. I love my unsigned ones and wouldn’t dream of claiming they were signed!

[inefficiency of]

I have full sets of posters too and doubles and have never framed them with hopes I could meet him, would love to get them on the wall as they are such nice images.

Does he still sign posters?

Ha ha fair enough.

I've seen the sets going for around £2-3K. Not sure now though in current climate.
If he's a good mate why cant he authenticate these as he did your Christies sets? Certainly get more for them then!

Different scenario. He decided to auth some gift sets of the holding hands, these he just signed when we met up. 

Current climate is also a fair point. What sets have you seen? are they these ones or the UK ones? Lots more UK around for sure.

[John The Badgers]

Great items Pete the Post, no questions from me about the signatures.

Daft viewpoint perhaps, but would you achieve more selling individually? Perhaps people paying premium for a certain colour to complete their set?

Would also agree with inefficiecyof, this a great image, one of my favourite images.

All the best with sorting.

I don’t think so, no.  Personal experience.

I have to say Pete is he embodiment of integrity - these sigs are real.

Am now looking to sell these as a set, looking for around £7k. 

Magazines were done by STIK in front of me, posters were gifted to mikey dread and later sold to my mate.
