Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by katzk14 on Aug 4, 2020 5:34:04 GMT 1, 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... 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. Not worked up, just meandering thoughts. And yes, I reeeeally hope to get to the next one!!

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by katzk14 on Aug 4, 2020 8:31:11 GMT 1, What artists do you usually collect and what has spiked your interest in owning these pieces now?
I have two signed Tom Killion prints and a few other bay area local artists' oil paintings. Bought some stickers at Clet Abraham's studio while in Florence and saw Blubs studio, but it wasn't open. I was very close to buying a Clet original, but didn't really have the money at the time. I've always just bought what I love or what has meaning for me and not really cared about signatures or provenance or any of that.
Always have loved the stunts of Banksy and I guess the clock and the GDP shop struck a chord somehow.. as for timing? Covid sucks...? Honestly I think if I had gone to any of the shows I would have loved anything given, but the rat has always been a favorite of his themes and I didn't realize he'd given freebies out at the other shows until recently!
Missing out on the clock make me excited about the rat print since it's the same size etc and I love the idea of the "rat race" we are all in with time.
Rambling again Mostly I just want to look at something I love and know that had a place and time that involved people and their connection to art.

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by doclittlerock on Aug 13, 2020 11:03:12 GMT 1, Got mine all framed up. Very happy with the result!! Wanted something a bit more ornate as an ironic contrast to the image theme, but still maintain a conservative black border so that it wont look out of place near any of my other art work that has a plain black frame.
(Ps. Apologies for the watermark, just don't want to see it coming up on eBay and be used to flog off fakes)

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by trap door on Aug 16, 2020 11:27:59 GMT 1, Hi All, For sale I have my GDP rat print, framed to conservation standard, tape free and under shatter resistant 99% UV screening acrylic. I got this in person in the wind and drizzle so have taken photos to show condition at its worst under harsh lighting. Framed up it presents really well and it looks great on the wall. (Shameless plug but this now iconic image appears on the new Banksy COA).
** Can offer a train ticket dated 05-OCT-19 to London Terminals as providence **
Would prefer a face to face collection at my framers in Sussex but can post in a custom built foam box at the buyers risk if necessary.
Offers via PM please.
Thanks!

And guys were moaning when they were selling on eBay at the time that they are free and on rubbish paper ๐ These will be the most sought after out of the set now the image is on the coa and also the gdp clock

Banksy RAT Print, Gross Domestic Product , by trap door on Aug 16, 2020 20:06:39 GMT 1, ๐ Couldnt let this go for under ยฃ1200, but it has the rail ticket so that hopefully adds some value. I should also mention that thereโs a small tear (hides under the mount easily) which is typical on these from where they were taped rolled up.
Have kept the piece of tape and will include that in the provenance!

Good theory. Only issue with the rats in my opinion is there were a lot of fakes out there that started pretty quickly.
