Pest Control COA • Banksy Print Authentication, by LJCal on Mar 12, 2024 22:52:54 GMT 1, Has anyone actually ever seen a decent fake in the flesh? I presume it's not particularly easy to make a very good forgery? Or maybe with modern printers and scanners it's very easy? 700 applications a month for COA's seems very high. I'd guess that figure probably includes requests to change ownership and maybe other enquiries? I thought I read once that there is only around 30,000 to 40,000 Banksy prints in circulation and you'd think the majority would already have COA? Yeah I have, there are some near perfect fakes (not including back door or test prints) but they're not the norm. 95% of fakes are easy to spot if you have know his prints or have reference pictures and cataloging.

Pest Control COA • Banksy Print Authentication, by LJCal on Mar 12, 2024 22:56:43 GMT 1, Given the pricing of his prints and originals, PC should have had their pricing higher for the service. Say £250 for a print and £1500 for an original. At least then that would put off and remove a lot of people submitting for COA after buying fake works of lower auction houses and eBay etc.. The money would cover a full time wage for the COA guy and for the guy who drinks the tea and adds the stains to the COAs also. 😉 100%. Monet authentication board charge $5000 flat, from little hand sketches up to big canvases. Obviously the authentication process is more complex typically and obviously a canvas is worth serious money but still a small sketch is probably worth less than some Banksy prints. I think most people on here would be more than willing to pay £250-300 if it meant getting the COA back in 3 months as opposed to 3 years.

Pest Control COA • Banksy Print Authentication, by lukas01 on Mar 13, 2024 0:27:30 GMT 1, I finally understood who Banksy is. I didn't know I'd known Banksy for years. We have exchanged dozens and dozens of emails throughout this time. I'm ready to tell the whole world if they give me an original canvas of the Balloon Girl, one of the Flower Thrower, one of the Child Who Trashes Superheroes, one of the Glitter Monkey and all the silkscreens on paper known to date. Obviously all the works must have the Disinfestation certificate, where it must be written: Original Single Work - Certificate to Mr. If there is any journalist interested I accept DM for confirmation. Thank you

We’ll eat some falafel one day 🙃 Never tasted one. But I think they are very tasty. Ancient recipes rarely have a taste you don't like. These products should be of Arab or oriental origin. Definitely excellent.
The problem is when will we eat them together? I don't even have a passport.
Thanks anyway for your availability. 🙂
