Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Apr 8, 2020 11:51:50 GMT 1, These are excellently framed and have that extra level of reliability coming from Bottleneck. It's no wonder the last release sold out in seconds. Super reasonable of the op at this price esp. for a UK buyer as the anxiety of delivery from overseas is no longer there.

Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by avec art on Apr 2, 2020 13:03:29 GMT 1, .. is fake af but I don't think they'll remove it. They don't know what to look for even if their algos did question it. Doesn't need to stop us from trying though

Kaws Print, Figure, Canvas, WANTED, by avec art on Apr 1, 2020 19:06:28 GMT 1, yep. You know the drill some are better than others, and every time someone puts together a group buy, they pretty much all want the same ones so it falls through.

Banksy Bolt Cutters Rat, by avec art on Mar 31, 2020 18:20:24 GMT 1, It's really not hard to make an accurate rat stencil, which is why so many pass through ebay retailing between £10 and £150, so regularly and on wheel clamps and signposts it's a cliché. Isn't there one that turned up on the antiques roadshow that appears to have authenticity as it was photographed in situ before it was stolen. They've been trying and failing to sell that on ebay.

Banksy Bolt Cutters Rat, by avec art on Mar 31, 2020 16:22:54 GMT 1, I remember a Heavy Weaponry supposedly original piece, I still think is pretty dubious, it keeps popping up every few years. But the cartoon heavy weaponry elephant caught a few of us ignoramuses out. I know better now.

Banksy Bomb Middle England Print • 2003 , by avec art on Mar 31, 2020 11:58:52 GMT 1, If I'm not wrong, the op said he has access to one. To me that means he's looking to know what sort of price range he should expect to pay, not how much profit he get can get for one in auction.
Or is financial return the de-facto assumption these days. That feels so sterile, I'm sure I'm as guilty as anyone else .. but even so.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by avec art on Mar 27, 2020 23:11:50 GMT 1, I know things might looks pretty scary but alot of these folks are on their way out anyway. It's kind of like counting people who die of pneumonia. In the grand scheme of things the numbers aren't big and the probabilities are low. If you get it now, you'll be free to go about your life in the winter. If you run away scared, you'll be running for a good few years and yes that's what some will have to do, but the young and the fit need to learn simple probabilities. This might seem to make sense in principle IF you can only get it only once. There are plenty of reports of people catching it more than once, and in some cases the second time around has been more grave.

Banksy Bits For Sale, by avec art on Mar 20, 2020 22:31:36 GMT 1, More seating upstairs is a great little postcard. It's has a very nice matt finish to it, which also makes it vulnerable to getting marked. I have one float mounted in a frame.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 13, 2020 0:09:37 GMT 1, I take your point, and made it myself. But not everyone would consider owning a genuine Di-Faced tenner as being stuck with one.
It's not nice to have to think that way, but you have to be realistic.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 12, 2020 22:35:19 GMT 1, I agree with you, I quite like it, but I just wanted to get to the bottom of this seal business, as that was the first time I heard it mentioned. It wouldn't be hard for me to change, I do my own framing so deal with this sort of sealed backing all the time.
I was hoping the seal was something more substantial which actually held the two pieces of glass together. They can do it for supermarket products so thought it could be achieved, but I don't expect it would be at all easy. Also you'd only see it once it was unframed so is not at all practical. Tough problem, but I bet if a gallery cracked it, those notes would be more collectable as a result.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 12, 2020 17:20:05 GMT 1, I've found responses from bottlenecknyc gallery helpful and I have a question with regards to something they said, BNG mentioned the hologram, but also a 'seal'. Is someone from BNG able to elaborate at all on the 'seal', as it's not something I was aware of. Thanks

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 11, 2020 9:51:40 GMT 1, The problem of switching can be applied to BNG as well as Andipa. Both galleries provide a signed letter of provenance which arguably is where the value resides.
If a fraudster swapped out the genuine tenner for a cheap fake, sold their fake along with the provenance, they would be left with a genuine tenner, but one which is of little more value than the cheap fake as the provenance is now gone.
I expect this is of little use to the fraudster as they generally would be looking for cash not a personal collection.

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 10, 2020 21:19:37 GMT 1, Not framed, so easy for a faker to switch a real for a dud. Bad idea from Andipa and Steve. And £500 more than the framed ones! Yup, this makes the framed ones with a hologram linking a specific tenner and it’s letter even better (assuming those holograms are indeed unique) the hologram does only connect the letter to the frame mind, not the actual note

Banksy £10 • Di-Faced Tenner, by avec art on Mar 10, 2020 20:47:52 GMT 1, It wouldn't be all that difficult to switch out one of the framed ones. So I don't see a massive difference with regard to that. But the framing was done well, and those were still only about $900 on release.
So Americans got a much better deal than this.
