I’d be interested in this but the framing is a real concern..

Would need to see it unframed.

Looks very cheaply framed. No spacers by the looks of it. Glass may end up being stuck to the front depending on humidity condition of placement.

Hi

Picture has been removed from the frame. There is slight light discolouration around the edge, but no marks, creases or tape.

Thanks all for the advice,

a beautiful print but you will have to adjust your pricing to reflect this condition issue - still a good pickup for someone (maybe someone looking for their first Banksy?) but this also should serve as a reminder of just how hard it is to find early Banksy prints in truly mint condition

I sold a signed Banksy print not so long ago which had similar damage. It went for about 20% less than the going rate.
Just my experience , others may think differently?

Good luck Aki

That CND would have been at a great price if it wasn't damaged, maybe worth getting and estimate from Bignal's or similar to ascertain if the border shading can be rectified or if it is permanent and then adjust the price accordingly.

Just goes to show why float mounting is the way to go...

Had a chat with him a few weeks ago and I Don’t think bignell can do anything with this sort of thing (unfortunately)

I've been looking at another Banksy print with this frame damage. I didn't consider it to such an issue as the rest of the print is perfect. But reading some of these comments I'm glad I've not taken anything further just yet. Is this damage not "preferred" over a print covered in finger prints, back ruined from framing and creases? (which seem to be running themes with most Banksy's at auction lately)

[Andy'77]

I had the same issue with CND and a couple of rats that were both behind UV glass, I think the paper they used on these prints is highly sensitive, got shown a signed Laugh Now yesterday with similar discolouration.

[Pysgod]

Pretty normal on these older prints and this is minimal.

If you bought a print for £35 today, would you put it in archival framing? That's what these would of been back in the day. Pretty sure there's one or 2 gwb's been sitting in a habitat clip frame or worse.

Very common on those older prints with that paper.

I think a 20% discount is too much.  10% is fine. 

I bought my rat with the same issue, framed it out, and couldn't care less.

[aki]

For 10% less I’d rather one in good condition for the sake of £850.

Each to their own though.

your running out of ones in good condition to buy. Would love to know how many early prints of an edition survive today.

This is a good one, no blue tack, no drawing pin holes, no sellotape.

Cnd and jack and Jill were released long after the early prints were released and sold out, they sold out immediately.
The Banksy hype was big even then so I’d say the buyers new/hoped they were buying something that was going to worth more in the future so wouldn’t have used blu tac or drawing pins to hang them. s**t frames and glass yes. Blu tac and Drawing Pins I think not, this was special treatment for rude coppers golf sales and Weston supermares.

If you’ve got just short of 10k to drop on a print it would need to be in good condition or the price should be adjusted suitably.

I’d just keep it and get it framed properly so you can’t see the fade.

I use Blu and Paul Insect to hang all of my art. Costs a fortune in plane tickets

Haha not sure how drawing pins turned into Paul insect

[aki]

Wtf it keeps changing back after editing?

[rambo901]

I think frameless is the way forward. I've taken to pasting and stapling my prints directly to the wall. Saves hundreds in frame costs and stops the dreaded fade.

Been there myself 😂

Great image, but sadly not much a restorer can do about this fading. Not an investment print to purchase at current asking price but at the right price to someone who doesn't care about resale or covering with a mount this would be ideal. Then again the OP has done well out of his purchase.
