pow authentication!!!, by funster on Jun 24, 2008 9:26:04 GMT 1, Just to provide a certificate they should have provided in the first place! I really like POW but hope this isn't going down the wrong road. Or do I think it's good value, my whole collection with COA's for a few hundred quid - not sure?

pow authentication!!!, by funster on Jun 24, 2008 10:03:08 GMT 1, I'm getting ready to do 5 of the prints I've bought over the last few years that don't have rock solid prov - even though I'm sure about them myself. Just seems ironic that I'll be paying more for the COA than the prints cost the original owners! Whilst I think ยฃ50 is a wee bit steep at the end of the day they're in business to make money.

I've heard that when you send the print to them it comes back signed by Mr B himself - bargain for ยฃ50

The 50quid is a tad expensive i must admit... though
on second thoughts if it's something you currently
don't have and seek to have ..or your insurance company
advises you to have (ie you didn't buy it..) - then in
that case it might be not such a vast sum - oops inc vat.
(call it 60quid..)

So if you have that backdoor print up on the wall upload some piccies and for ยฃ50 you will be told it's genuine and get a certificate!!!

you may, on the other hand, be told something else - for free.

It's amazing some of the pictures that can be taken off of ebay. All someone needs to do is photo their backdoor print as already said together with nice close ups of the stamp and number from ebay and bobs your Auntie - a nicely certified Banksy print

pow authentication!!!, by Ruggs on Jan 17, 2009 2:00:05 GMT 1, I purchased an unsigned Banksy 'Love Rat' print just before Christmas. The seller (the original owner) willingly passed on plenty of details regarding the origins of the print. I then passed on all the relevant information to POW, which they promptly confirmed to me to be fine. The sale went through with no problems at all. However, I still had a tiny shred of doubt in my mind. I thought it would make perfect sense to apply for an authentication certificate via the POW 'Banksy Authentication Request' form on their site. A week or so later I received an e-mail from POW confirming I was now the new registered owner and that the print was pukka. Relieved! I payed just over ยฃ61 including express delivery. Yes! A tad expensive maybe, but at least I have complete peace of mind. It's now framed and hanging and i'm chuffed to bits with it.
