Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by kfroms on Aug 3, 2020 9:33:26 GMT 1, Flatten them a bit ( in a sleeve, for example ) and then live with the result. Its a cheap gift print on flimsy paper, so its fine if the look is a bit 'street'
Here is mine framed, btw. With Art Glass and a Plexiglas backside.

Makes it look like the rat is walking on the paper and crumpling it

ยฃ200 for the rat and ยฃ400 for the thrower?
That's pretty good value I reckon though still a lot when you think the children got them for nothing and it's printed on chip paper. The Young pups have earnt well out of us adults on these, I hope they remember what we did for them when we get old and infirm.

Thrower - 1700 Rat - 950 Crisis - 800
This was before prices seemed to skyrocket more than what they were.
Mark at PFG has a set for sale.

The reverse of these prints is the place to get pics of. A couple of the Rat links You posted do not show the reverse, so no way of knowing if they are genuine or a photocopy. Have a read up of this thread. xx

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by iamzero on Aug 3, 2020 17:34:15 GMT 1, PFG is the Picture Frame Gallery which youโll be able to Google or find on Instagram. The Flower Thrower looks legit to me and so does the Crisis but I wouldnโt want the grease marks on it. I was hoping for a Crisis poster but really snoozed too long on it and it looks like all the good early deals have long sailed.
Mark is a good guy and there will be no reason why the set he has wouldnโt be genuine.

I don't agree...
Some might have some proof
Others won't. Most went to have a look and on a few days got some free stuff. the proof really isn't important, What is important is that the print is genuine.
I would imagine It'd be pretty easy to provide proof they were there and duplicate that 'proof' to many buyers selling fake prints
The label, the paper and the back of the print really is the key to the purchase, proof they were there on the days as well as the print being genuine is a bonus.

Thanks Bren & Stuckeyc. I agree with both of you! That particular seller didn't seem trustworthy, but I have purchased many things on Ebay without trouble in the past.
What label do you mean?
I guess I'm concerned, because I have to physically have it in hand to know if it's the right thing, right? I mean I know what newsprint feels like (art teacher here ), but it's still just a photo of paper, so nothing to do but take someone's word for it. I think the back of the print is probably the most important to have a picture of (since I can't see it in person). But it's hard to know, because even just reading this forum, fakers can find the real info, you know? I just want to know I have a real one and don't NEED proof (because as I said in a previous post, I just want it to hang on my wall for my life and NOT sell it). But down the line, my kids might appreciate something as provenance. But that's a whole different discussion as to the value and purpose of art...

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by qwerty on Aug 3, 2020 22:24:20 GMT 1, I bought my set of three individually, plus an extra rat, from croydon area ebay accounts within days of them being handed out hoping at least to beat the fakers to it. One of them had only made an ebay account to sell his print and didnt do paypal so I paid a bit over asking by cheque. One came with a parking stub. Have printed off all emails, addresses, ebay listings, etc. I won't sell them anyway but it's deffo best to get as much back up as you can. I think in person a fake would be easy to spot but if in doubt and you can I'd pay more to get it from a reputable source. Good luck with your purchase.

Don't get too worked up about this, my advice would be to wait two years, see where Banksy pops up next and make the effort to get there. There will always be some sort of momento to take home whether it be a Box set, Dismaland T-shirt or GDP Rat.

I think the back of the print is probably the most important to have a picture of (since I can't see it in person). But it's hard to know, because even just reading this forum, fakers can find the real info, you know? I just want to know I have a real one and don't NEED proof (because as I said in a previous post, I just want it to hang on my wall for my life and NOT sell it). But down the line, my kids might appreciate something as provenance. But that's a whole different discussion as to the value and purpose of art... You'll be protected through eBay. Mark at PFG can probably verify as many have gone through him right when they were handed out. He is probably your best bet for verifying authenticity if you go through him for framing. Thanks! I will definitely send him a note and see what I can find out!
