I keep watching the chick with the headband. She reminds me of someone I banged.

Did she charge you fees ?   

[Express Post]

Yes. I was taxed dinner and cocktails at Gordon Ramsay.

Aren’t 1-150 supposed to be signed? Wonder if the duplicate number is signed.

[Fuzzyduck121]

What’s with the shape of that BW trolleys ?
Looks well weird

I think the signed one are from an edition of 150 and the unsigned one ares all from the edition of 600. I've seen quite a few DN Banksy prints, probably a little disappointing when the owner sends in a print for PC and is told the number has already been registered and that their print will now be scribbled with D/N and designated as such on the PC certificate. Although I don't think anyone really cares as it doesn't seem to hurt values.

I noticed that but apparently the condition report states full sheet, I think its just a corrupt photo. Its a little sloppy and I'd expect better if I was the seller.

Agreed
But these days someone will think it’s a rarity and pay top dollar for it !

Your probably right, look at the unsigned GWB that sold at auction for £106k, it had a heart shape on it and wasn't from the edition.

Your probably right, look at the unsigned Girl With Balloon that sold at auction for £106k, it had a heart shape on it and wasn't from the edition.

But that’s cos the heart was (presumably) by Banksy so closer to a signed than unsigned as he had actually marked it.

Yes, good point, I hadn't considered that. STIK has a few unsigned print that he signed with a STIK man.

Sothebys have a few Banksy prints up for sale this at Sothebys NY thisPM, including a Girl With Balloon unsigned DN/AP, the DN designates double number, I think the numbering on his early prints went askew. This is also the smaller sized Girl With Balloon, 65cm x 50cm, there is a larger version 70cm x 50cm.

Do you have a link for that one?

[Pipes]

Hammer prices:

$90k Girl With Balloon unsigned
$12k B&W Trollies unsigned
$28k Sepia Morons signed
$26k Strawberry Donuts

So add 25% Buyers premium

ARR 4% & NY Tax 9% ?

Never bought anything at auction other than eBay so no idea how it works

Is the general rule 3 x for signed?

I'm don't think its a rule to depend on, I think it varies from print to print.

Stik has no unsigned prints. He used to sign everything with a Stik man.

I think all ‘walk’ prints are Stik man signed
