POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by xtinaw on Feb 9, 2008 13:25:02 GMT 1, Dirtysanchez - POW released the soup can print as an unlimited edition yeah. It did sell out though and is now been sold on Ebay etc for over 40 quid. The original cost about 8 quid I think to buy from POW. So it's not signed or numbered. Get me? They are doing it now with a Hewlett piece.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by xtinaw on Feb 9, 2008 13:37:05 GMT 1, Flipping heck.... can't someone else try and explain!!!! I guess it wasn't so unlimited then. Or maybe they just took it off sale. Either way it's no longer available from POW.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by bullet on Feb 9, 2008 13:42:36 GMT 1, meaning if its meant to be unlimited and its sold out, and no longer available for sale - then its not "unlimited"
well it obviously is as its not for sale anymore, the same with the dface that used to be on POW last year, that was unlimited as well but is hard to get now as they DON'T SELL IT ANYMORE ;D

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by xtinaw on Feb 9, 2008 13:45:17 GMT 1, All I wanted top know was if ppl thought it was the POW one on sale at All Posters *sigh*
Was I not speaking English?! Ha ha
Guess it doesn't really matter. With the 20% off they're doing at the min it works out cheaper getting it from them than it does on Ebay anyway.
Cheers

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by mammal2 on Feb 9, 2008 13:56:25 GMT 1, They were simply unlimited for a period. They would print more with demand. The litho on allposters is fine. I would not be suprised if they print more up at some point. Then again maybe not.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by chablis on Feb 9, 2008 13:59:19 GMT 1, English yes but there is no clear answer read through this post of mine.
banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=ebaychat&thread=1201299715&page=1
I spoke to allposters after actually ordering one from them, I phoned to ask them about the picture and they said it was a copy. I am still not sure as it seems pointless copying something that was cheaper else where, perhaps if they divulged their source we might get a proper answer. The edition was not limited and could have been available for sources to buy in bulk.
My understanding is that the print from POW was discontinued at the request of Mr B, so you will not see any more from that source. I now have my copy, but still not all the answers. It is a reasonably important question for collectors of Banksys work so if you find the answer let us know, we could after all be sitting on a rare print.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by manchestermike on Feb 9, 2008 14:14:50 GMT 1, if they are unlimited, then they would be available at POW. If they dont come with POW provenance, then they are knock offs
Provenance on a £10/£20 poster...
Come on!!!
The first half of this thread is like an episode of Chucklevision

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by bullet on Feb 9, 2008 14:19:55 GMT 1, POW supply provenance on everything, but you have to ask them. Nothing from POW comes with a certificate or anything, its only in peoples email as a receipt and these would be easy to fake.
They know who has bought what, so if you give them a ring and say is the banksy litho at xxx place real and you give them the address, they will confirm it.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by xtinaw on Feb 9, 2008 14:33:36 GMT 1, I should hope I write with more class than chucklevision...
To me...to you... hmmmmm
Let's face it that litho is the only way some of us non super rich buggers can afford a Banksy. So give us a break! Just pissed I didn't get one ages ago and a rat print. But hey that's life.
Thanks for the reply chablis. Much appreciated. Will do some investigating. Got one saved in a basket with them just in case!

I know POW provide a receipt etc...
But requiring provenance on a fucking poster is ludicrous...
"Hello Athena, yeah the tennis lady scratching her arse poster, I want to buy one of some other company who said they got it from you, can you tell me if they did or not..."
Get real... IT'S A FUCKING POSTER

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by bonesy on Feb 9, 2008 14:43:27 GMT 1,
I asked them if they had a bulk discount avail on them (and the Bast's that are sitting there) awhile back and was told they do not offer bulk discounts to anyone. I wouldnt be surprised if allposters printed these up themselves, copyrights for pussies, right? POW's is a rather thick poster stock. My guess would be that Allposters would be a thinner stock than POWs.

The POW ones were about as thin as you can get. Mine was anyway.
I have had thicker kebab leaflets dropped through the door!

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by xtinaw on Feb 9, 2008 14:45:49 GMT 1, I wasn't asking for Provenance.
But who knows I've already seen one sell for 80 quid on Ebay so you're telling me they'd have got that without saying it was originally purchased from POW?! I don't think so. They may end up rocketing more than that one day. Who knows. So just leave us to it Mike.

POW Soup Can Unlimited Print on All Posters?, by octopusuk on Feb 9, 2008 14:49:25 GMT 1, This is like the Damien Hirst signed posters, we thought there were only 50, then along comes another 50, and another 50, ...
Unless the items are numbered then the run is unlimited. Also anyone can produce copies and as long as the copies are good no one will be able to tell the difference. I bought one of these soup can posters last year, so presumably POW know I bought one and and I have a receipt from POW. I could esily buy these copies and, using a photocopier, manufacture lots of copies of this receipt to accompany each poster I sell for twice the price I paid for a copy.
In summary it's a poster with an image on it, enjoy it for what it is and don't get hung up on where it's come from.
