Forum Banksy Only 25 April 2022, by JFCC on Apr 25, 2022 15:54:18 GMT 1, A truly dreadful set of results from this very tired format. Probably the cheapest coloured variation CYW to sell in years and 5 out of 14 passes.
Have a nice day ยฃ19k hammer ยฃ25.5k all done Gansta Rat ยฃ28k hammer ยฃ37.5k all done CYW Yellow ยฃ60k hammer ยฃ80.4k all done I Fought The Law ยฃ19k hammer ยฃ25.5k all done Donuts ยฃ44k hammer ยฃ59k all done CND ยฃ38k hammer ยฃ51k all done Flying copper ยฃ29k hammer ยฃ38.9 all done Happy Choppers ยฃ58k hammer ยฃ77.7k all done Bomb hugger ยฃ28k hammer ยฃ35.5k all done
Grannies, Soup Can, Morons, Flying Copper and Stop and Search all passed.
Sorry to be so critical as Forum are a great auction house but its now the place to buy not sell, well done to those who bought today!! Time to change the record!!

With all due respect did you even see the CYW, it was absolute trash. Completely ruined by sun damage, it's amazing it got ยฃ80k. Have a look for yourself. I do agree with you this format of Banksy only auctions is tiresome and much like the pieces at auction they are usually damaged and the only way to move them is put them up at auction.

I think they have always been very easy to deal with, they employed good high quality individuals and were good at marketing as a positive alternative to the big houses which made them attractive to sellers. Their selling fees were lower and they used to have a good catalogue.

Forum Banksy Only 25 April 2022, by JFCC on Apr 25, 2022 16:59:56 GMT 1, I cannot disagree its a poor print but even so worth only half or a third is a big discount. Banksy collectors are vey picky about quality (I am as well) but realistically in the fullness of time this becomes less relevant as we have all seen with many other artists such as Warhol etc. I personally expected it to get through the ยฃ100K pretty easily! Long term good value? Just a view!

The condition report is as follows:
The yellow background is attenuated, it fades from the upper right to the lower left corner of the โ as stated on the Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity. The corners are sharp. Some very slight rippling to the sheet. A small handling crease in the lower left margin, other very minor handling creases in places in the margins. A minute area of brown discolouration at the extreme upper centre sheet edge. Images Condition reports are prepared by the department as a courtesy and guide for clients, and should not be treated as a statement of fact. Condition reports are not warranties and each lot is sold โas isโ in accordance with the terms and conditions of sale, as listed on

Not sure on what basis you say that? The statement is pretty clear unless Forum are making up what PC have stated clearly on the COA?

I think the seller will be pretty unhappy TBH!!!

So itโs purposely done that way? There are faded variants of CYW? Iโm confused.

As serious point, is that COA real? Iโve never seen one with a comment about condition before and if it is, Forum has, in my opinion, misled the auction in itโs published condition reports that it mails to its registered customers directly from its CEO as they, by implication, suggest itโs not (sun) damage?

Looks photoshopped to me but the person that posted it is a well known banksy dealer so would seem strange if its fake.
