What’s the best print with coa to buy as a first work from banksy? Are back door prints also with coa ?

Backdoor prints are prints that are not signed, are not numbered and most importantly are not recognized as part of the edition. For all intents and purposes, they are stolen prints that the artist/publisher haven't authorized as being for retail. They are usually stolen from the publishing house by employee's without the knowledge of the artist/publisher. While they might be cheaper than an editioned print, they have no value and will never have any value greater than what someone would pay for it. Think of them like WestCountryPrince Banksy prints; unauthorized, not from Banksy and not from POW. Just my opinion.

I agree that backdoor prints only carry a value that somebody is willing to pay. However the early Birmingham prints were given out with a certain artists knowledge!

What print would be affordable? So around £10 - £25k

I've got a VERY nice unsigned Silver Flags with COA/PC if interested. Comes framed to archival standards. DM for more details.

I don’t have a list tbh but have seen quite a few BME WSM HAND QV. If your not in it for the money then it’s a great choice. If you can’t afford the real thing then search them out there are some still out there!

Wished I’d bought some BD ones early on.
