Bansky signed piece on ebay IS IT REAL???, by balibob on Jan 11, 2013 17:22:39 GMT 1, Seems a bit cheap for something that is supposed to be so rare, never seen happy choppers like that so I'm saying no, but no doubt I'll be wrong.

But thats not conclusive.

Bansky signed piece on ebay IS IT REAL???, by craigf on Jan 11, 2013 18:20:28 GMT 1, So some background from an old thread - If I remember correctly Pure Evil had one of these that he was considering selling, he checked back to "source" and it was indicated no signed ones were ever given out so he took it off the market.
I however think this is a grey area as I do remember at least one other that is signed that although there is not a documented paper trail I have no reason to disbelieve. That said I do not think you would get a COA from Pest Control, not sure they'd consider verifying signature or even look at it

Bansky signed piece on ebay IS IT REAL???, by thisisanton on Jan 11, 2013 19:16:46 GMT 1, I remember this being on ebay a few months ago. I guess the person who won the auction didn't pay for it. I wouldn't get anything that doesn't have a COA from Pest Control.
"I have a signed letter of authenticity from the founding partner of Sleaze Nation magazine that accompanies the print, that confirms that this is an original print and original Banksy signature." If anything ask to see the letter, and try to get in contact with someone from Sleaze Nation magazine.

Bansky signed piece on ebay IS IT REAL???, by Deleted on Jan 11, 2013 20:36:12 GMT 1, Yup Pure Evil had one for sale but he was informed by Banksy that there were no genuine signed versions as I remember it.
But what the hell do I know...? Ask PE.

Bansky signed piece on ebay IS IT REAL???, by Deleted on Jan 11, 2013 21:00:29 GMT 1, This is the quote from PE regarding the Sleaze Nation poster...
'Hi there.
I had somebody who was interested in buying the signed one , I checked with POW and Banksy said that he hadn't signed any of those prints.
So I took it out of the print rack and I'm not selling it.'
Thread about that signed poster here:
