As for me it started with the Obey stuff. First POW print was an Insect Skull print (in orange).

How could you sell your Banksy's off? Not trying to have a go, just curious.

first print you purchased..., by andrewd on Feb 13, 2007 21:40:42 GMT 1, My first art print was an original, signed Dante Gabriel Rossetti for ยฃ5 in Oxfam. ( Probably worth ยฃ-4 K, interestingly enough when the Pre-Rapaelites were around they mastered the art of selling print editions, thus making many of them very rich. How history repeats itself.) First Banksy's were Flying Copper and Bombhugger both at Santa's Ghetto 2003.

Still have it... thought not framed at the moment. I had to take it out of it's cheap Habitat frame once it became worth more than my car.

first print you purchased..., by goffy on Feb 13, 2007 22:54:51 GMT 1, Golf Sale and Big Sponge Finger both signed, 2003. Remember when POW had about 20 Banksy's all to purchase at your leasure. Things have certainly moved on at an incredible pace. What I regret the most is not buying Girl With Red Balloon when I had the chance.

first print you purchased..., by danvnuk on Feb 13, 2007 23:00:52 GMT 1, A signed Bombhugger in 2004, for the stupendous price of ยฃ225 (framed!)
I'd read about Banksy somewhere (cant remember where now), and then seemed to start noticing his work around London - The Che's in Portobello Road and the various images in Brick Lane mostly....but I paticuarly liked the BombHugger image in Brick Lane - so, tracked one down and bought one.....never thought the prices would go through the roof like they have.
The biggest regret is that canvases, sprayed on packing crates etc and the life size cardboard Flying Coppers were available for (with hindsight) silly money.
