WCP The West Country Prince, by Lroy on Apr 12, 2021 10:32:59 GMT 1, So do these amazing replicas are they stamped WCP on The front? Why ? You never saw one ?
Yes they are amazing replicas, whatever you think and we are not Rothschild anyway !
Yes they are stamped in the back, and usually when you sell a Banksy, you send pic of the front and of the back !
Some have been swindled ?! How dumb could they be..
I do'nt believe it...

WCP The West Country Prince, by sandinista on Apr 12, 2021 11:00:05 GMT 1, Talking of swindles. I visited a screen printer recently and noticed a wad of GDP rats. He had no idea they were Banksy. He had been commissioned to print 200 of them with no markings on. I pointed out the issue and suggested he mark them somehow so they couldn't be sold as originals. He didnt want to put his studio name on them now knowing they were banksy's. Added to the issue the person who ordered them had ordered via sms and paid cash so clear on intentions and open to money laundering. Is there anyway to determine an original as i see them on ebay selling for ยฃ25 one minute and ยฃ1500 the next?
I'm tempted to get a few hundred printed and sell for ยฃ1 to try and kill the market and risk of someone getting their fingers burnt.

If Banksy wanted to stop that type of thing he could easily set up a website and eBay store selling posters and postcards at just above the manufacture and handling costs, overnight wiping out the fakes market on eBay.

WCP The West Country Prince, by Deleted on Apr 12, 2021 12:39:02 GMT 1, yes but seems people are buying them if you check the completed listings on ebay. Several have gone for ยฃ1k+ if He paid ยฃ1 each to get them printed so even 200@ ยฃ25 is a nice return and that might not of been the first or last order. I dont want to see people being ripped off like this either. i could do a load for charity.

WCP The West Country Prince, by Lroy on Apr 13, 2021 6:12:01 GMT 1, For those asking ( I have nothing against bu the adress was already in the 45 pages :-) again, this is his adress thewest_countryprince@yahoo.co.uk
And few words of him from Last we ( itโs not secrecy I guess ) : ยซย โ( ... ) Our next sale is at the end of June ( ..) - we only print 50-100 each time we restock of most the prints ยป
And editions are out of 500 and we are no where near 500 on any of them - NONE ARE FINISHED yet..we will announce when one certain print has run its 500
So if we say its sold out, it means just for that ten day sale, it does not mean its sold out forever
The only one we don't number is the GWRB as its too popular and we are all about people being able to own those deigns and most want that one ยซย
Hope that Iโm not clumsy nor making an error ( as a traitor ) , writing this here . Have a nice day all And WCP !

Yes they are amazing replicas, whatever you think and we are not Rothschild anyway !
Yes they are stamped in the back, and usually when you sell aย Banksy, you send pic of the front and of the back !
Some have been swindled ?! How dumb could they be..
I do'nt believe it...
You buy your people fake trainers? Fake Gucci fendi LV bag for your lady? You have a fake security system in your house for your fake banksys? You have a fake insurance policy? You have a fake coa for a fake Banksy? Lmaooooooooo ๐๐๐๐๐
๐ but the bigger question is, do you accept fake money for the fake Banksyโs you selling?
Oh man the new name for you should be TheFanksyForumCrew oh wait I know who you are. You probably the vermin crew pinkdaisy james allen that clown from the aquarium. You been duping people on this forum for years. Aaaahhhhh well you wonโt be anymore.

You are not a worker surely, but one of those only buying art for investment, back doors prints, to show your walls to your best mates ( have youย ? ) , bourgeoisie, etc,ย etc ..
I don't buy Gucci, Nike, etc.. No interest for a left side guy ( it 's all fake - life - for me) , ,ย just for rednecks, tacky and cheesy stuff, I m not concerned, I never have been .ย
It's like if my psychiatrist was talking about disco ( or ask me about ) , when I was thinking punk rock !
Take fresh air !

WCP The West Country Prince, by Lroy on Apr 13, 2021 15:00:44 GMT 1, Anyway I do post this private message because I found it innocent and sincere... May I have to delete it ? If it's to make problems to WCP - that is a remarcable person, very cool - or to argue because of this or that, just don't read it or forget it. I never saw any shipping quality and prices for these kinds of prints.
Years ago, you would not find any WCP on ebay ( apart the WCP ones ) ...
Anyway There are so many and so many years that I read same debates on WCP prints... Some saying he is a thief, some others that " it's a Banksy ' mate helping - " poor " - people to have decent replicas of prints etc.. Well, this debate is so rebarbative..
If you like , buy, Idf you don't like, don't buy, if it's forbidden, it will be forbidden, etc etc...
We are only passengers or fan or only buyers... I don't remember to hear Met about him... Anyway, who cares in fact.. ( apart Banksy maybe, not sure, we are not in confidence anyway )

WCP The West Country Prince, by Lroy on Apr 14, 2021 6:57:23 GMT 1, Mostly UK ( nothing against you mates - but a lot are from UK ) ! Flippers is an English term that we don'tt know in France... Anyway, I don't and I can't understand these people ( I alway sold old and rare things that I cherich and kept my shit ) : they are ready to flip snails or their gran' ma brooch ! They just buy WCP prints here , to flip them ?! it's not very glorious... And it's them ( always the same ) that give bad reputation to WCP !
To win what ? the doulbe of the print ? Why soem buyers are so lazy and don't have a look on google ( they pay a lp, 5 times the price thant on discogs per example ) ?
Really, when we see these last WCP prints, even not printed yet, it looks like a joke... It's not funny anyway.
WCP should blocks them !

WCP The West Country Prince, by cadonke0 on Apr 22, 2021 19:07:22 GMT 1, Is there anyone on here who own both a WCP copy and a Banksy original, ie one to display and one to squirrel away in safety? I only ask as I own a few WCPs myself and Iโm happy with the quality/purpose but never seen a WCP and genuine Banksy side by side to compare. Is there really that much of a difference? Just curious.
Cheers
Kenny
Is there anyone on here who own both a WCP copy and a Banksy original, ie one to display and one to squirrel away in safety? I only ask as I own a few WCPs myself and Iโm happy with the quality/purpose but never seen a WCP and genuine Banksy side by side to compare. Is there really that much of a difference? Just curious.
Cheers
Kenny

Cheers Kenny I havnt seen up close, but there are a couple examples scattered throughout the thread. The main differences seem to be there colours and the WCP prints lack the tiny details (spray marks).

I know you were focusing on the quality, but I think itโs worth saying that the overwhelming difference is that one was created by an artist and the other was made by someone else copying that artistโs image. Thatโs whatโs important.

WCP The West Country Prince, by cadonke0 on Apr 22, 2021 22:11:33 GMT 1, Thanks, guys. That was genuinely very helpful. ๐๐ Totally agree, you can clearly see the detail in the overspray in the genuine compared to the WCP. As someone mentioned before however there's NO chance I'd ever own an original either, which is such a shame but I'd sooner give ยฃ40k+ to a charity than buy an original print, regardless of the significance etc? So WCPs are perfect for me + I have the added luxury of being able to pop it into a cheap Ikea frame and slapping it on to a wall to enjoy in all it's glory without fear of it being nicked. And that in itself is such a shame - imagine owning an original Banksy piece but unable to relax enough to hang it on your livingroom wall. I'd hate that. Everything I've bought or been gifted from an artist has at some point been framed and popped on the wall. Otherwise why bother having them in the first place.
Thanks again, everyone. ๐

I'm in the arts by trade and can hardly afford a WCP as it is haha

WCP The West Country Prince, by Jules Leotard on Apr 23, 2021 3:35:57 GMT 1, So, from the umbrellas contrasted in billhicks post, one of the differences between a WCP and POW OG is that the POW OG has an underlying screen print that is hand-finished with spray paint? There is always mention of Ben Eine pulling the screens at some point in POW's history. Which prints were exclusively stenciled and sprayed and which were screened? Whereas a WCP is solely screened.
In Banksy Captured, Steve conveys that Banksy was knocking out Girl With Red Baloon 's upstairs at Santa's Ghetto with spray and he (Steve) was trundling them downstairs to sell. I had always assumed, of the numbered print run, most of these were screen-printed??? Or were all Girl With Red Balloon 's 100% sprayed?
