Banksy • Crude Oils Postcard Set

[brut]

Yup. Only a fiver.
I remember the exhibition so well.A beautiful smell awaited all in the que!
Just drifting back to autumn 2005 when there were plenty of signed banksy prints for £150 on POW begging to be snapped up & taken to a loving home like a stray puppy at a dog pound.

[romanywg]

Yeah your right, I bought the cards and a roll of 'Polite Line Do Not Get Cross' for a tenner.

[ryderage]

You paid a fiver! I'm willing to pay £20!

Will be going to a non smoking, loving home.

Anyone with a spare set laying about?

Rikki

[ryderage]

Just out of interest,

Does anybody know which other Banksy's were distributed as postcards?

If there any other post card collectors out there. I have a few i'd be willing to swap.

Dead Sid by insect,
50pz by Ericailcane
Mona Simpon by walker
Che by dolk

You're gonna be lucky geting a set for £20, plenty keep coming up on ebay, keep looking and waiting.

Banksy's Kate postcard is another of his that springs to mind, usually goes for about £5 - £10

A couple of other postcard sales here

I'm afraid a lot of people have the cards you've got, as they've been given away with prints from POW, plenty turn up on ebay and usually sell for about 50p each.

Not exactly a postcard, but there were promo cards distributed at Barely Legal (the LA show). And then there were postcards that were given to distributors during the release of "Wall & Piece": Golf Sale, Kissing Coppers, some rats over a "anti climb paint" sign, and the flower chucker guy from "Love is in the Air".

[bonesy]

The Wall and Piece postcards also came in a paper band that said Banksy on it, that auction listed dosent seem to include that. They only came in the cases of 4 books for the first edition. Anybody know how many 1st edition of Wall & Piece were printed?

[ryderage]

Thanks for all the replies. All most helpful.

Also wondering....

Does anybody know if there are any differences between the editions of Wall and Piece?

i.e. no. of images, pages, size of pages, quality of the images?

After reading some reviews on Amazon.co.uk on the hardback edition there are a few complaints about the poor quality of the images used in the book. I'm just wondering if they've addressed this in the later editions.

I also noted this later paperback edition on ebay with the "10% more Crap" sticker" 150104743235.

All a bit confusing tbh.

I would buy the new one with 10% more crap.
If you cant really decide go to a book shop decide which one you want then go and buy it on Amazon.
However they are quite cheap in Fopp

Aside from the first press with a white dust jacket non of them are collectable or rare.

[corblimeylimey]

Also try Waterstones website, £8.79 (with the extra crap) The good thing with them is if you're prepared to collect it from your local store delivery is free.

[faribo]

what is a set of 10 crude oils postcards worth still in plastic?
Thanks

[Montubu7]

£20-£30 ish...

[bonesy]

I just received the Cude Oils postcard set of 10 and I am really happy with them
POW informed me that these are now out of print. Anyone have a guess how many were produced?
They also said "Keep an eye on the website for new and different postcard sets though" Dont know if this is pertaining to Banksy or who, but hopefully

[mido]

I've got a set, and so have you, so I guess at least 2 were made ;D

I would guess 1000

When I was at POW I said to them about the numbers of the Soup Can Poster, and the impression I got was it could be a run of a thousand I would think that a thousand sets of postcards is a good sort of round number that should cover the demand.

[RetroCanvas]

I'd say a lot more than 1000,

Don't know how many though.

How many people went to the Crude Oils show do you think. Surely most people would have bought a pack. Some people would have bought more too

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, Could be more Could be loads more
They do seem keen on handing them out as if they have a shit loads of them that they would rather see the back of ;D
