STRANGE SIGNATURE........BANKS???, by nickc on Nov 7, 2007 16:21:56 GMT 1, I too had spotted this and have actually emailed the seller what prov he has from POW aside from the tube. It seems distinctly dodgy to me, particularly as (it looks to me) has been gone over a few times???

I've seen him sign things 'Thanks Banks' before.... not like this though.
I wouldn't like to say it's not possible though.

But you'd think if they were going to go to all that trouble of making a fake, stamping it and signing it they would at least spell his name correctly!!!!

STRANGE SIGNATURE........BANKS???, by delano on Nov 7, 2007 18:47:38 GMT 1, hi chaps
as the seller of this piece, I can guarantee it 100% legit.
it was bought directly from POW, this is only the second time it has been taken from original tube, and is stored along with a collection of 25 other prints at home.
i have the email purchase info from POW, and will also be listed as the registered owner.
I had never even checked the signature before, and it does indeed say banks, but now I hav noticed this, it probably makes it even more special
I had better go and check sigs on other signed prints.
cheers

I tend to agree - I consider the banksy i have in which he added some extra "decor" to his signature more special...

having checked my emails, I purchased both signed love rat and girl with balloon from POW in Sept 04.
the love rat was mailed out first, and I have an email from lola wallace confirming it would be mailed out on Sept 21st 04.
i will be in touch with POW in morning to clarify the whole issue, and to provide me with both proof of purchase & registered ownership.
cheers

Whatever your reasons for selling/storage, just wanted to give you a +1 for coming forward and taking the time to authenticate this sale...obviously it's to your benefit but still, many haven't. So it's nice that someone has.
Good luck with the sale.
;D

STRANGE SIGNATURE........BANKS???, by worlddomination on Nov 8, 2007 10:06:05 GMT 1, It was obviously real all the way along, I've been watching this thread from the start. The signature was perfect apart from the y being left off, and as if anyone trying to sell a fake would leave the y off his signature thus only drawing attention to themselves. whilst I understand that people are only trying to help each other on the forum sometimes some of these threads are just crazy. Shame the owner came on to put you all to shame because I was going to pounce on this little baby but the cats out the bag now. More negative points coming for expressing my opinion!

Anyway, the selling price will reflect the 'uniqueness' of this piece! ;D
Good luck, Pu

You logged on today at 11:46 and a couple of mins later I am negged!
Sorry if you didn't like my comment but I am perfectly entitled to make it!
I have not said you have had this piece printed and it is a fake, I am sure that if you had tried to fake a piece you would have at least spelt the Artist's name right!!!
I have simply expressed an opinion that I would be concerned spending up to 5K on a piece that is ALWAYS gonna raise questions and cause caution, hence someone opening a thread about it!!!!
You have obviously stressed that this piece is unique to try and drum up more interest and raise the sale value, well IMO the 'uniqueness' of this piece will drop the value, sorry but there you are. This is remember JUST my opinion, others will think differently and lets hope there are enough of them out there to help you get a good price!
Good luck with your sale, I am so pleased that you have enjoyed owning this print for 3 years, did you get it out of the tube each day to admire it??! ;D
Anyway, I won't be as childish as you and neg you mate, not my scene!

Of course you are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.
It just grates, when having to sell a piece to raise some cash is pored over in such a way, and comments like the 04 looks to big are made to question the authenticity of the piece.
Dora from POW has confirmed to me that the print is registered to me, and I will be taking it down to them for a letter of authenticity prior to end of auction.
All of my prints are in storage in tubes until my house is completed, including a signed moss, di faced tenners, happy choppers, and girl with balloon.
Perhaps if you get the chance to visit the midlands you may want to pop into one of my bars and see banksy art displayed alongside original gilbert & george, dface, insect & micallef - thus making the art a lot more visible than the framed prints you have hanging on the wall in your home.
