Banksy Silver Flags for sale, by Baby Dave on Mar 17, 2016 18:14:28 GMT 1, *** SOLD ***
Hi everyone,
It has come to that time to try and raise some funds again. I'm therefore putting up my last Banksy print, Silver Flags.
I bought this print from a forum member a few years ago. References etc can be provided.
Here's a bit more about the print:
-London face to face deals only. Sorry! This is due to the delicate paper. I won't want to roll it or post it as there is a big chance it may pick up more damage
-It is currently framed. It can be unframed but this will have to be done by a framer and ideally with you present. This is due to the delicate chromolux paper.
-The print is NOT mint!!! There are a few creases and marks on the print from when it was rolled. I have taken the best pics I can but it is very difficult due to the paper.
-I haven't got a COA. The original owner didn't get one either. My thinking was that the print is so difficult to fake due to the chromolux it wouldn't be needed. I personally would only get a COA to prove its authenticity, so for the above reasons I didn't get one. I appreciate it's each to their own though. I can provide the email paper trail from the sale to me.
-Price - ยฃ1500
I may be selling the Di-Faced tenners too if anyone is interested.
Also have a WCP Bomb Hugger to shift
Any questions then just ask. I'm not always on the forum these days so I apologise in advance for not getting back to you immediately. I'm being as open and honest as I can. Thanks for reading

Banksy Silver Flags for sale, by Howard Johnson on Mar 17, 2016 18:52:39 GMT 1, You should get Pest Control sorted mate Agreed. It took nearly 9 months but I got one for this piece without sending it it. I think due to its uniqueness with the paper and all, you should be fine with pictures and a paper trail to show provenance.

I just never thought I would need one. I totally understand some people like having the COA for peace of mind, but short of confirming its authenticity I never saw the need as I can do this with paper trail prov. Getting a COA would have negated any concerns though.
Hopefully this sells without one

Banksy Silver Flags for sale, by Howard Johnson on Mar 17, 2016 19:10:37 GMT 1, The current market demands COA for Banksy works, plain and simple. So many fakes floating around out there its scary. Speaking as someone who got sold a fake one from a gallery last year its worth it to get one just so at a very least you and your buyer have piece of mind. Not to mention that you'll only get a portion of what your asking without one!

Very sound advice. If this doesn't sell in a week or so then I will remove it for sale and get the COA sorted. I hope you got your issue sorted with the gallery!

It could well be registered in my name with pest control, and if anyone wants it get in touch about any info I have you are more than welcome to, although it won't be instant. And by the sound of it any paperwork i had was passed on with the sale. I was contacted recently with another Banksy a forum member bought which was still in my name as the current owner hadn't transferred ownership.
Good luck with the sale 'babydave'.

My problem actually. I bought mine framed around 7/8 years ago from the show at the library in highbury/islington,and due to the delicate paper I never been tempted to check the numbering since I know it s in the back and get a COA..
BabyDave is a top guy Glwts amigo

I've never heard of a flags getting repaired before. I think the paper that was used is too sensitive to get repaired. I've heard it likened to tin foil. Once a crease is made in foil it will be there for ever.

I am looking to part with mine too and got my Flag COA from pest control last week. They turned it around in little more than 3 weeks. Just a photo of the front and a photo of the edition number (verso, corner ), are all that are required

Quite expensive if that's all they require for their service ,considering a 1000 in just that edition a nice return @ยฃ50 per coa , I've dropped my prints off previously at pow and always thought was a more elaborate process to determine authenticity

Banksy Silver Flags for sale, by sanchorockin78 on Mar 18, 2016 17:05:47 GMT 1, Nobody said they were good value and yep, i think it's perhaps easier for this particular print...? - they needed about half a dozen for another Bansky i requested a COA for.
Good luck with the sale Babydave
