Is cracks on Banksy Box Set normal?, by rinz on Oct 29, 2019 18:58:33 GMT 1, Hi guys.
I got the opportunity to buy a Banksy Box Set. It is the one in the new frame. However there are cracks in the corners. Is this normal for the boxsets?
It cost around 500 pounds because it's made archival with new glass etc.

I own quite a few and most have seam gaps cos their cheap frames. Maybe consider posting or sending a pic directly to confirm. |

Would you rather pick one with a Ikea frame and no cracks?

I think you'd be ok buying a new one and swapping out. Won't hurt value and nobody would know....
Otherwise I'd frame over, some nice examples i've seen.

For me this belongs to the artwork and adds a little twist since these are made in Bethlehem - I like them more than the cheap ikea ones tbh

I think I spoke to you the other week ref seller on ebay. If its urbanframer, he's here, so send him a message. He also has a few for sale, so probably some better than others.

These are both mine.

I'll be doing a boxset giveaway soon.
