Banksy did quite a few pieces on card for the 2002 Santa's Ghetto.
As far I know Laz does authentication through his 'pestcontrol' department. Certainly did until a few weeks ago.
Do not let go of it until you have an official say on it.
Saying that don't let it go full stop. I wouldn't. Make sure your lawyer has (discretely) detailed it on the settlement.

You remind me of a thirteen year old who has no balls. You talk s**t and then write a post about moving forward. This forum should help members and new members alike in purchasing, owning, hanging, banksy hunting and pricing. 99% on here have no idea what we are in store for from POW and Laz in the future, me included. That is the fun of it!!!! Wild statements that are presented as fact are bulls**t! You spewed 1104 posts of utter s**t and cause you have seven stars new peeps are going to think you are have insider knowledge, when you dont. All your posts have been crap. You cannot not authenticate a Banksy, that is left to Pestcontrol. You say talk about art, AND I CHALLENGE YOU! If you can post 100 great messages about artists and having a great time collecting I will buy you a beer. Yet, you will be unable to do so, cause at the end of the day you are a bulls**tter, whose love of cash far outweighs a love of street graff!

alsbarbar brings a negative and arguementative attitude to every thread he posts on, and contributes nothing worthwhile at all to the forum

clap clap clap.

now where was i back to work (oops)...

I'm embarrassed to be a member of this forum. Someone with a real query that could have been answered relatively simply, quickly descends into adolescent name calling and bullshit answers. It makes me cringe to think what an “outsider” with a genuine question must think about (some of) the people on here.

On Wallcandy there is a red button which you can use to ignore posts from people who you believe are rambling idiots. Perhaps it could be incorporated on this forum.

[insite]

Who said that ?

[Pattycakes]

Just email Holly Cushing at Pest control who will look at the work and let you know if it is authentic or not. If it's real and you want to sell it, take it to one of the following auction houses: Sotheby's Bonham's or Bloomsbury. All three sell Banksys (try all three and shop around for the best deal), they will give you an auction estimate and sell it for you. If you don't want to sell it, hang it on the wall and continue to enjoy it.

This forum is very good for many things, there are some really decent people on here, there are also some complete arseholes who either want to rip you off, or are under the misconception that they know more than anyone else on these boards. There is no rush, but I'd advise you to do this properly, you could be sitting on something worth a lot of money.

[graeme501]

great advice

[jonpud]

How sad! Sometimes this forum is not a nice place to be!

Why do we continue to rise to controversial postings? We should, AS A COLLECTIVE, just ignore and blank those who continue to cause bad Karma!

[babyjane]

Hi i would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who gave good honest advice,
"you know who you are".
I have read all your pm's and have followed up a few leads. I have also contacted Boham's auction house.
Owning this is a little like owning the ring from lord of the rings everyone wants it and you don't know who to trust and i will be glad to see it go. Not saying i dislike Banksys work i think he i a genius and looking at his work on this forum has opend my eyes to something i knew very little about i think he very special in the way he gives so much to charity and i think some of you so called banksy fans sould think about that befoe trying to line your own pockets. Remember its art to put smiles on peoples faces to stop and think about to enjoy. this peice is full of bad memorys for me. And i know alot of you would give your right arm to have a original Banksy but take it from me it is not always the case..
I did not mean to cause any greif between forum members but reading between the lines this is the norm.
Thanks once again to every one that helped and wach this space

I (as I am sure many others on here) wish you the best of luck with selling it and moving forward

[mammal2]

Me too! Hope you are able to buy a great deal from it! If I had it I would keep it! But then, hell I am never going to own an original! Sell it and go on a looonnngggggg holiday! Many cocktails! GOOOD LUCK!

[RBK]

BabyJ - I'm excited to hear how this all unfolds for you and wish the best of luck selling it. Hope you use some of the profit to buy some art that you love on your walls

[kingdomcome]

so people did try it on then.......

[Prescription Art]

I've just seen this thread after being away for a week.. I don't think this is the version from Turf War as i've got a picture of that one framed up, and it looks nothing like this (and yes, the piece of cardboard looks much bigger).

That's not to say that two versions weren't done though, and it looks pretty real to me.

It's pretty sad seeing something once again denounced as a fake by someone who hasn't the slightest idea one way or another. Unless you know what you're talking about, it's best not to pass off your opinions as fact.

I'm sorry but doesn't else find it fuckin sick that this woman is selling her ex's pride and joy behind his back and then lecturing us about charity and lining our pockets!!
bullshit. you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Run Pig Run]

and another thing if anyone actually believed that banksy would go to the trouble of colouring in something as banal as a trolley handle on a print then they have got to be a little bit simple.

[Maxie]

babyjane to really fuck off your ex sell it to me for 50p and i will find out if its authentic and sell my story to the metro should i sell it for 40 grand.

interesting, there's a picture earlier in the thread that looks very similar,
can you post a picture of your version?

let me make a few things clear to you people who are throwing their toys out of their prams.

1. I never said I was a Banksy Expert - I would defy anyone to prove at any point where I made such a sweeping statement

2. The opinion about this piece was not mine - it was somebody elses - and in time, this PERSON, will be proven to be wrong or right - so till then, lay off the gang bullying mentality

3. I have only offered Babyjane assistance - I have zero interest in purchasing this piece and at no point did BabyJane intimate that she wanted to sell to me or to anyone else.

I think a lot of you are hysterical drama queens, with nothing better to do then gang up on people. I have seen how you treated that poor kid Cartrain and add how, when you dont get the print/piece you want you get all nicely a chummy, when you dont, you turn into viscious turncoats, you people are a joke, who I never have and never will take seriously. I am just thankful that I can afford to buy the art direct from source, without having to resort to dealing with some of you muppets (graeme the flipper, Icky, Mammal, rudecopper, Ronhill to name a few).

Have a nice weekend

I would never do a deal with you. Why do you presume i would? I don't listen to your so called advice because you have showed how little you really know, which is laughable at times, but its not a funny when you could possibly cost someone tens of thousands of pounds.
As for your relentless name calling, the only muppet and a joke on here is you.

where's that red button.

[alsbabar]

a muppet and a joke that has a HAND FINISHED Trolleys, I thank you!!!

[babyjane]

Hi some more pictures of the copcar out of the fame pic's shows close up detail and banksy tag on rear,

[Curley]

no doubt about it, thats an absolute beauty. ;D

looks real to me, but im with ape lamb...your a hypocrit.
I also hope your ex finds out what your doing before you spunk all the money on shoes

[mammal2]

ha ha shoes

[instinct]

i have never seen this image before? if the image even is a banksy it is a new one on me!

not sure how any such 'real' thing could have gone through a divorce court without more legal consideration from you ex?

[spirit]

Instinct - if you read the rest of the thread you will see original Banksy versions of this image. Whether this is a good or a fake version I couldn't say but it looks pretty good to me.

But I agree that there would certainly seem to be questions over ownership between babyjane and her ex. He clearly bought it in the first place and she has stated herself that he wants it back - and if he had agreed to give it up as part of the settlement, I doubt he would be asking for it back now. The "He ain't gettin it" attitude also suggests there is more to the story. Buyer beware.
