Banksy funds Refugee Rescue boat, by Octopus UK on Aug 29, 2020 15:01:29 GMT 1, From my reading of these stories, the person died before the Louise Michel got to the dingy. Just goes to show how important it is that these migrants gets the help they need quickly.
I don't know what the Daily Hail is saying since, like Wikipedia, I don't recognise them as a serious source of information.

Art as an investment , by Octopus UK on Aug 15, 2020 18:54:06 GMT 1, Search for a post by BONGO (my favourite forum member of all time) and take a look at his post around 2008 recommending that everyone stay calm and hold on to their Banksyโs. Never a wiser word spoken. I remember BONGO. Their posts were so much fun! They typed everything in FULL CAPS I recall.

Times long gone ... A late noughties print from Elliot, by Octopus UK on May 25, 2020 15:55:02 GMT 1, Given the strange times we live in I wanted to share a print that I have from a print artist called Elliot who made a brief appearance on ths board in the mid or late noughties. I have a Sainsbury's soup can of his and this print. Born 2 Rule. But I think not to lead. Strange how the individuals in this print have caused so muich pain and distress in our country.
I recall that Elliot did a third print that was not well received by members of this forum and he took the decision not to persever or stick around here. I recall this as one of the low points on this forum, how he was treated.

Wanted: Banksy with COA (budget ~ยฃ10k), by Octopus UK on May 16, 2020 16:14:18 GMT 1, I remember receiving a Paolozzi print with a crease. The seller sent me some ยฃ's to compensate (poor packaging - between many sheets of corrigated cardboard but the "grain" in all the pieces of corrigation was in the SAME direction so very strong up down but weak across!). I decide to tackle the crease myself, damp blotting paper and a cool iron helped a lot.

Charity begins with a Soup Can Poster, by Octopus UK on Apr 18, 2020 14:52:03 GMT 1, Mr mcgill14 tells me that the poster has arrived safe and well with him. I sent the poster via parcel force (home collection) for next day delivery (express24) but Mr mcgill14 found out that these guarantees have been suspended. No word of this when I booked the postage. Be aware of this. Anyway it arrived within 48 hours so not too bad.
Now that he has the poster, if you are interested and want to help a good cause, look out for news of his auction. Thanks for your interest and advice.
Please stay safe and well everyone, these are hard times for some and as Mrs Smith said "Remember to be kind, Winston".

Charity begins with a Soup Can Poster, by Octopus UK on Apr 12, 2020 16:28:09 GMT 1, Hello,
I am looking into posting options for this poster in a POW tube. It weights about 0.5kg, 80cm by 10cm by 10cm. The quote I have from parcelforce (drop off at a post office), with ยฃ600 insurance is:
Parcel Force express48 Net price ยฃ12.35 Parcel Protection ยฃ16.50 VAT ยฃ5.77 Total ยฃ34.62 inc vat
This is a bit more than I had in mind, ยฃ20 to ยฃ25. Can anyone suggest an alternative courier, Leeds to Glasgow. A collect from home would be good. Or maybe this Parcelforce quote is competative?

Charity begins with a Soup Can Poster, by Octopus UK on Apr 8, 2020 20:39:08 GMT 1, OK, I have one picture to start off, but I can take more if needed.
Firstly provenance, I bought this over 10 years ago direct from POW (along with an Invader and Eine's Blue and Pink Trains - that takes me back). I have the reciept and the tube. The poster cost just ยฃ9.99 back then ...
Since then it has not enjoyed much love. I framed it in an clip art frame, afterall it was just a ยฃ10 poster. To keep a gap between the poster and the plastic, I fashioned a rudamentary mount. The clips then held together the backing board, the poster, the mount and the plastic. What I have just found is that this has compressed the edges of the poster so that there are ridges around the poster akin to ripples, not creases. These should be visisble in the attched photograph. It may be possible to flatten these out or mask them with a more professional framing attempt? So I guess I'd describe its condition as "fair". Anyway, let me know if anyone would like more detailed pictures. In retrospect the framing wasn't a good idea, but who knew then that this would not always be a cheap ยฃ10 poster?
I am note sure if the image will automatically display here, if not try this link ibb.co/0Y7WFhC

Charity begins with a Soup Can Poster, by Octopus UK on Apr 8, 2020 19:01:29 GMT 1, Hello,
does anyone know if there is an "organised" charity sale thread going on here at the moment, particularly in relation to CoViD-19? I've looked through the Art For Sale section and can't see anything. Maybe I'm missing it.
I have a Banksy Soup Can poster that I bought back in the day, and it is doing nothing for me, that I'd like to offer - I've seen a few of these for sale here I so hope it would go soon for a decent price.
The reason I thought about this is that Bonhams are doing "The BLUE Auction in aid of NHS Charities Covid-19 Urgent Appeal" now.
