Banksy Keep It Real small canvas, by axel on Nov 18, 2020 17:49:00 GMT 1, It’s a fake obviously, there’s more chance of me shitting out a faberge egg than finding a Banksy canvas at a car boot. I’d bet the op is a scammer too 
BTW good luck mate, hope you will get positive feedback from PC.
In the end, you bought a 5 quid lottery tix, with the difference you can hang to the wall you tix without giving the impression you are a gambling addicted!

Banksy Keep It Real small canvas, by kuni on Nov 18, 2020 17:50:21 GMT 1, Hello again. 6 pages haha wow! Ive had a quick skim through some of the comments and there is so much negativity from a couple of people? No need for it really but thanks to all the other decent folk! Right... I first had a response from pest control just acknowledging the request. A few days later they asked for further detailed macro photographs of certain areas of the canvas to be sent to them. I have heard back from them today... Basically, they said due to the nature of the provenance they would like to have a look at it in person and put it in front of the artist. They said they shouldn't need to keep it for more than a few weeks. AND THATS IT... Absolutely no 'yes it's real' or 'sorry it's a total fake' at any point so right now i'm barely any further along to be honest. I will get it sent off and see what comes back and update those of you that are still interested that far along. I figure it will either come back with a certificate or shredded to make sure they never have to waste time looking at it again.

if they didn't rejected means that is a format that banksy was doing at some point, which - touching wood - is a good sign. Try to give PC as much details as possible on the provenance or even try to get in touch with the seller 
bloody hell finger crossed

Id love to know what state the artist was in if and when he painted this and how on earth he could recollect painting it back in the day..
Its a good story if nothing else

Banksy Keep It Real small canvas, by darkarts on Nov 18, 2020 18:08:23 GMT 1, That's a great result that banksy will look at it himself! I wonder how he will determine its authenticity that the photo's don't show? It would be interesting if Banksy has a secret way of marking his work that he never tells people such as U.V invisible details etc. The fact that they are asking you to send obviously means that it is good enough for them to question it. Good luck!

Banksy Keep It Real small canvas, by sameoldthing on Nov 18, 2020 19:16:02 GMT 1, Hi. I bought a small canvas from a car boot sale a few weeks back. It is not in the best condition and shows signs of mould on the back. The woman selling it said she didn't know much about it but said it was probably from an ex partner and was having a big clear out. I spent all of 5 seconds looking at it before asking how much she wanted? I paid five pounds. After walking away I had a better look at it and could see that it had definitely been hand painted (not just a printed type image) but has nothing written on the back at all, which i would expect from a real canvas. Looking at pest control, there is a 100 pounds charge to authenticate works and obviously I'd rather not pay that and send it off if it doesn't stand a chance of being a real one. What do you think? Joke type copy or possibly a Banksy? Im not stupid, I know its probably a joke painting but for a fiver i'm still happy to put in on the wall. I just want to rule out it being worth a trillion pounds without the embarrassment and cost of sending to pest control.  
You are blessed! No boot fairs this year for me!
