Did the one on the link sell for 13k?.

ps. LOL, i love that animation Dappy.

Thanks IW, but after checking out your link, the majority of the thread is with regards to an ebay listing with a totally different signature.

The signature that is similar to the one I've provided doesn't have any comments regarding it's authenticity... Not trying to be argumentative, just want to point out that the pic similar to mine was used in that thread to prove the one above as fraudulent, as well as show difference in colouration.

I think your sig actually  looks ok, it's the AP that's making me question the piece, all other AP's were clearly numbered, and out of 32.this one looks like the AP is done in pencil and the signature done in pen. The edition of 50 piece in the other thread is genuine , I know this as it was offered to me about 18 months ago.
I wonder if this was signed and gifted by the artist, and possibly the letters AP added later.
I would speak to pest control if I were you.
good luck.

Thanks Rolex, I was hesitant to reach out to them first as I'm unfamiliar to their policy on authenticity requests before an 'official' request is submitted -- which costs $ if approved. I totally agree with the concern over not being numbered. This is the second un-numbered AP I've seen, so there's either more than one authentic piece like this one, or multiple fakes... Here is the other one that I came across that is similar what I'm looking at (the handwriting is diff in both the 'AP' and the signature from mine).

Why not have the seller apply for the Pest Control COA, when its in hand you buy it. They get the money you get an authenticated print. If they have a problem with that i'd pass on it personally.

[Deleted]

can't comment on the authenticity, but I can say these would be really easy to fake, since they aren't screen printed

I would think Pest Control would authenticated this, if it is indeed legit, since it's stamped. Try contacting them as well as POW. good luck! hope it's legit

[Cornish Crayon]

If I doubted something to the point I need to come on here and ask, I wouldn't go near it.

Put your cash into something that is solid dude

No worries

One word.... Fake (very)

Thanks!

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed how many newbies seem to have Di Faced Tenners to sell? Sorry but I just had to say it!

[Morfx]

Yeah, lots of copy floating around... Not many full sheets though ;-)

Sent from my C6603 using proboards

I am a bit of a newbie to the site! So have to agree with you there!

[commissioner]

.... and almost impossible to tell if they are real, very much a case of buyer beware.

[commissioner]

agreed - almost embarrassing !!!

[klaus]

For all those who are confused its the Di Faced Tenner print is the 59x42 cm edition of 50.

Hey all, I've been presented with the opportunity to purchase a full-sheet of Di-Faced tenners that also happens to be a signed Artist Proof.

I realize these are pretty rare, but being fairly inexperienced with them...I'd like your opinion on authenticity.

First, as an Artist Proof, I would assume that it would vary from others since each proof was from a different part of the printing process. But it's not. All of the ink 'blots' match exactly with every other version I've seen, and the print date info at the top is the same as well. Maybe this is normal, and for retail Banksy/POW made copies of just one?

Secondly, this IS blind-stamped by POW (embossed), but I've heard that neither they nor PestControl will authenticate them since they are Artist Proofs and not part of the regular edition run... Thoughts?

Thirdly, 'AP' has been written in pencil inside of the POW stamp per usual, HOWEVER it is not numbered.  From my research I've had people tell me that only 32 legit AP's were produced, and they are all numbered (with both AP and the # inside the POW stamp). I haven't been able to confirm this information...

Lastly, the Banksy signature seems to be legit with other pieces I've compared also from 2004.

SO, I'd love some insight to the info above if anyone has experience with the FULL SHEETS of TENNERS. I've done about as much research as I can without physically seeing the piece, but the seller is not local to me.  Any info/impressions based on what I've provided would be very much appreciated!

Thanks fellow Banksy-ers!

PS I know you guys get a lot of similar inquiries, so thanks for the patience.

Any update on this?

If you haven't already done so, you may wish to consider passing the details of the seller to Pictures on Walls.  It could be a helpful heads-up for them, and might also reduce the chances of a less vigilant buyer being defrauded.

In addition to the comments already made by others on this thread, that blindstamp looks counterfeit to me.

whats the timeline on the POW stamps- there were 2 different ones ( on mine anyway) I think the earlier ones were POW printmakers as opposed to the later dot com ones

I would expect a 2004/5 print to show the Printmakers wording

could this have been run off as part of the original batch - and there were shitloads of them - and latterly stamped by persons unknown? the stamp is pretty fresh, but the thickness of the paper probably accounts for its clean lines

Now Im not advocating this, but if it is slightly bogus i.e real but not real IYKWIM, then a visit to POW for acheck may result in the print being marked as such by POW. big risk to bring this to their attention if you have a doubt as to its legitimacy

[samfrost]

Proceed with caution...

[telecine]

Even more so with this classic that's just popped up on the bay....

Agreed. It's about time the bank of Banksy withdrew the old tenners and issued new ones.

Fact. While they're at it how about a range of re issued images?, not to replace but to compliment the originals....

Have a shite day
Happy Hoppers

Girl with Baboon could quite honestly be the best print ever.
