Are these signed Banksy prints really going to sell for less than ยฃ30k each? Presumably not but my credit card is on standby.
One hour to go.

I noticed that too. Years and years ago may simply mean 4-5 years ago. It would be interesting to see what the COA says about the date of the print.
My theory is that PC do still generate/issue prints even now of images from back in the day for friends. Banksy's original signature was a son of a bitch to duplicate (for example, see the IFTL signature at this auction) so the current simpler version was created IMHO to allow assistants to sign on behalf of the artist.
The first time we saw the new signature was around the time the 750 signed Trolleys came out. There is no way Banksy sat there and signed 750 prints on top of the 4x150s from the LA set. No frigging way. Besides, there was a white plate signature on the coloured Trolleys that could be used to fill in the signature; something that Banksy himself wouldn't have needed.
It's decent of Banksy to do that sort of stuff for his mates, and even better when those mates donate the piece to a good cause. Well done Mr Marshall. Respect.

"There is no way Banksy sat there and signed 750 prints on top of the 4x150s from the LA set. No frigging way." Damien Hirst hand signs way more than that each year.ย
Spread throughout the year that's understandable.
The 750 Colour Trolleys edition and the 400 or so POW versions of the LA prints were dropped on a single day, from what I recall.
That's at least 1,100 signatures for one release. The man would have RSI me thinks...

I left it too late and then decided I was interested in the Rowdy canvas but I couldn't get verified to bid.
It went for a lot less than I expected it to as well, someone got a nice pickup there
