yes... at Forum auction, £750 is cheap!

[jeeves]

its a great image. does anyone know how to tell the fakes ones (of which i understand there are tons) from original ones? given that the originals are posters themselves and so lower quality i guess it must be easier to make fakes that are basically the same? but at the same time there must be a way to establish for sure authenticity since they are sold at auction etc?

There is a whole thread on that subject on this forum somewhere I have seen it before

ah ok thanks, will dig that out

Now Sold, thanks everyone.

How much did you sell it for?

[bwilson]

How did you get this?

The real ones didn't come unfolded. They came folded with a stencil and sticker

I have a folded one that I've had for years and I know is 100% genuine,

I'd be wary dropping £750 one of these unfolded ones more than likely a copy.

Has anyone bought off this bay seller?
Selling loads of these posters for £25 as well as a load of Crude Oil postcards for £6.
I am 99.99% sure it's fake, but the postcards come sealed. Has it really got to this, putting in that much work selling fake postcards and pow Christmas cards for a few quid?

... there were unfolded copies ... even with folded copies you are never going to get 'full provenance'

[bwilson]

Still surprised i really didn't think these were worth that much.

Here is some photos of mine for your records, condition is 9/10 been kept in a plastic wallet for as long as i can remember so pretty decent

anybody want to pay me £750 for mine then feel free! damn even at £250 it can go

Ablit what they are worth honestly. No idea why someone would pay over the moon when there is stuff like this out there. More than likely you will end up with a knock off anyway.

I haven't bought off this seller and wouldn't. That is not to malign the seller as the prints/cards might be genuine. First thing that puts me off is the seemingly endless supply of cards/posters. A bit like the character/s (chancer/s) selling TENNERS for hundreds and making a nice little sideline and annual return from doing so. Some might say, that the TENNERS provide a licence to print money. A few quid over hundreds of sales soon adds up and that's what might make it worthwile for some.

Yes, I suppose while there are idiots willing to buy the stuff, then the scammers will keep on selling. Eventually anything legit without real provenance will just fall under the same category.

Agreed , but tales of fellow members being stung in the past serves as a warning and precludes me from labeling them idiots . Not eveyone has the benefit of this shared resource.

I love the image and own what is likely a fake. Dont care one bit about the potential value in a mass produced poster. Also nothing ill toward the OP as the best chance to buy a legit one would more than likely be on here.

No offense meant, I'm sure we have all been 'idiots' at some point. I know I certainly have

I know you didn't mean any and weren't referring to anyone here in particular or generally and yes, none of us have exclusive rights over idiocy

"Gartreegalleries" have been selling these at least since 2010. Either they are the caretakers of Greenpeaces storage for old posters or they're printing them themselves.

[hnkpnk]

[jeeves]

have asked/dug around seems there is no way to tell for sure what is fake and what isn't with these so i chickened out buying one - far too punchy when clearly they are being copied on a huge scale. from what i understand the stencils have not been faked (maybe am wrong tho?) so only way to give yourself the best chance is to buy a full set. or buy from a v trusted member of course!

[avec art]

I'd say a full set is probably safer, although unscrupulous sellers can easily pull all the parts together. Here's a set that ended yesterday.

Would you say this is safe to buy as a non-fake ?

I'm definitely interested in buying one but would prefer a real one

I honestly couldn't say thepusher. My above post was really a response to someone saying that the purchase of one of these prints is more likely to be genuine if it also came with the original stencil and sticker set. But as I mentioned, a seller could still pull all three pieces together from separate sources, so it's not a fail safe method. If I was looking, I'd try to increase the likelihood of it being genuine by bringing elements together, including a trustworthy story/seller.

So safe, I'd suggest no ... yes ... possibly. Hard to say isn't it, but with the increase in prices of the early posters, an incentive for fraudsters to fake them is there. As these will never be authenticated, I would be careful not to overpay, and in my mind some of the prices banded about seem nuts.

Any way to tell if this is real? I put it in the scanner at work.

[avec art]

I honestly couldn't tell. I'd need to see it in person and have what I believed to be a genuine one to make a comparison. It looks right, but then these days it's not difficult to reproduce an image digitally to a very high standard. The best way is to know its history. If it was purchased a few years back then I think it would be a lot less likely to be fake, as they weren't worth much at all for a long time.

I know this thread if over a year and half old but I just wanted to thank you for posting this. I was looking online for some crude oil post cards and came across gartreegalleries and thought their $7.50 sealed deal was too good to be true. Looks like I was right. THANK YOU!

It may be obvious to most but just want to highlight this eBay seller as he likes to throw words in his listings like ‘authentic’ and really doesn’t make it clear that all his items are re-prints / copies and not from the original run

Gartree Galleries on eBay

www.ebay.co.uk/str/gartreegalleries/

Sells re-prints / copies / fakes of Banksy postcards, save or delete posters, Christmas cards, Banksy vs Bristol posters etc

I would highly recommend Printing your own copy images for a small fee rather than buying from here.

Thanks! It wasn’t obvious to me at first and I purchased something from him. He was really cagey about the authenticity after though, so I canceled.
